Anybody seen the latest dock connector port pinout? I understand it changed from the iPhone 3G to 3GS.
This one shows only the 3G.
But here's a question, why are all those Firewire data lines present? All iPhones and iPods use USB. Could they possibly be for future implementation? For instance, the iPad doesn't have a camera. But couldn't a simple swivel camera be attached to the dock connector to face front or back and feed Firewire speed video for streaming? Say a higher quality camera than Apple could afford to build in and hit their price points?
Have any jailbroken iPhones been able to access these data lines? Did Apple eliminate them in the 3GS?
