It's just I think it's wrong to operate in this way. They make Belkin pay for the label, then Apple changes the design and then Apple gets a cut of the accessory sales that make their product easier to use/stomach. Doesn't seem fair does it? Apple DOES eventually get things right sometimes. Just look at the iPhone 3G and 3GS and it's lack of a recessed headphone jack. That makes it so the extenders that were sold are no longer necessary.

I have half a notion that Apple does this on purpose. Does Belkin have to pay Apple for the Made for iPod label? Anyway....as far as iPod acessories go, my favorite ones ever have been Belkin. They do a great job. It was bound to happen. I have half a notion that Apple does this on purpose. Does Belkin have to pay Apple for the Made for iPod label?

That's as bad as one of my male bosses intending to reply to a female coworker with my contact information, but instead addressing the email to me (male), with the body of the email starting with, "Here you go, sweetie". At least I HOPE it was an mistake. You’re welcome.

Pasted the wrong "Description", I presume. “Eliminate the hassles of printing sheet labels when you need just a few. Introducing the next generation of LabelWriters.
