Apple has released information on its upcoming iPhone accessories. The most prominent iPhone accessory is the $129 black Bluetooth headset that features a single button for making/receiving calls and provides 5.5 hours of talk time and 72 hours of standby time with its lithium-ion battery. The Bluetooth headset comes bundled with an iPhone Dual Dock (charges both the iPhone and the headset) along with a Bluetooth Travel Cable.
The iPhone Dual Dock can be purchased separately for $49. A separate iPhone Dock (without a port for charging the Bluetooth headset) can also be had for $49. Other accessories available include a $29 USB power adapter, $19 Dock Connector to USB Cable, $29 Bluetooth Travel Cable and a $29 Stereo headset. My fellow Neowinians, what do you think of Apple’s pricing scheme?

@TheBigB
It's a cable, how can it be nicer than the last one?
The phone box contains :
* iPhone
* Stereo Headset
* Dock
* Dock Connector to USB Cable
* USB Power Adapter
* Documentation
* Cleaning/polishing cloth
--------------------------------------------
Packed with pretty nice accessories to be honest, although sucks not to have a wall plug charger.
Anyway nothing can change the fact that its a phone with an outdated technologies.
Give me a phone with 3G, kthxbye.
Phone + service plan is already outragous for a phone that isnt even a smartphone.
No, wait: HTC already has a bunch of models that have that.
So you'd rather stare at the case of a phone than use it?
ugly is the dirty, grimey mess that iPhones will become after a week of artsy hippies touching the screens with their unwashed fingers... *barf*
better keep those polishing cloths handy kids.
This is such a mac comment, it's not pretty enough, i want a pretty one
am I worried about that? I'm getting married in march of 08
So in other words, you do not have a mortgage, kids, or any other expenses that others have. To say anyone with a job can afford it is crazy. There are people out there with jobs that are struggling to make ends meet. Hopefully marriage will help the priorities. Congrats on the marriage.
"I'm 20 and work in IT at my school making 12.55/hr and I can afford it easily."
Woooo a whole 12.55 an hour.
You do realize that you spent almost an entire paycheck on your phone.
Someone needs a dose of real life (ie outside of your mom's basement).

You do realise rushing into getting married at 20 won't make you seem more mature, right?

Joke's on you buddy. I goto school in the mornings and I work for a little bit in the afternoons. I can easily rack up 35 hours a week. I get paid every two weeks. You do the math. Its over 900 dollars. I guess its difficult for you to understand my point. I'm not saying 12.55 is a lot. It isn't. But it is a lot for a student working while going to school. You wouldn't know unless you went to the University of Texas. People here usually work at Old Navy, HEB, and other places and earn 8-10/hr. Heck in line I saw a 16 year old guy who bought his iPhone with HEB money. Next time read before you run off your sarcastic mouth.
Dude there are too many holes in your touching story (and in your maths)...
- A "little bit in the afternoons" adds up to 35 hours a week? You'd be working till 9-10pm to rack up that many hours if you start in the afternoon "after school", and that's a full working week...
- 35 hours * $12.55 = $878.50, which is less than 900 dollars, and that's before you consider tax...
Good luck with the iPenis though
What's the point in working hard if you can't have a little fun every now and again?
Congrats on the marriage, though! Even though I don't know you, and will probably never meet you, I wish you and your fiancée the best.
Don't listen to these dicks who have nothing better to do than critique your lifestyle on Neowin.

Thanks, people always get mad when you have something they don't. It happens.
You do know that there's only 4 years between 16 and 20, yes? And since you're still young, it won't shock you quite as much when you find out one day that your job has vaporized and been sent to someone else that'll do it for $3.00/hr in a foreign country. IT is NOT a stable career track anymore.
He appears to have little-to-no idea what living in the real world means -- does he pay for his own schooling? His own food? Does he own a car, make payments on it, pay for its insurance, maintenance, gas, etc? Does he pay for health insurance? Does he buy his own clothes? Does he pay rent or a mortgage? There are tons of other expenses in real life that his post seems blithely unaware of.
Sure, we were all young, but to claim some financial high ground over an overpriced gadget, when the poster obviously has no clue, invites being shot down. Bang bang.
I wouldn't go that far.

LMAO
I finish school in a month i am so old enough
so you are one of those IT guys that is not really an IT guy, hence the electrical engineering degree, good luck with the electronics maybe you should stick with that and stay out of IT
[bear], I'll see you at the Apple store in a few days returning that crappy iPhone so that you can pay half of your rent with that money, idiot.
but i agree iphone = waste of $$$
seriously never get a 1st gen apple thing, wait a little and you will eventually get a better deal and product from them, i just wish that everything will flop after the initial hype.
iPhone Bluetooth Travel Cable
Use this cable to charge your iPhone Bluetooth Headset while you sync or charge your iPhone.
The iPhone's three built-in sensors: accelerometer, proximity, and ambient light, improve the user experience by doing smart things without the user intervening or even having to think about them -typically Apple
