			<description><![CDATA[Interesting and thanks for the detail.  That's good news - and better than I expected - I guess the digital to analog conversion part of the adapter is part of what causes such a high cost.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The Lightning to 30-pin adapter supports analog audio output and USB audio (whatever that is). It does not support the "iPod Out" feature which I guess would let you control an iPod using controls built into your car.<br><br><a href="http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapterbr">http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapterbr</a> /&gt;<br><br>The adapter does not support video output but it has been reported elsewhere that Apple will be releasing Lightning adapters equivalent to their 30-pin to VGA and HDMI adapters.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[We'll know more when these things actually ship! Certainly, the implication is that the adapter will just let you use your old cable or dock just fine, assuming the physical constraints don't get in the way.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You note that the new Lightning connector is an all-digital connection, but also that apple offers adapters because we all have "cars, radios, docks, ..." which have dock connectors.  But many people's cars, radios, docks make use of an analog connection for audio and (sometimes) even video.  Will the new, expensive, adapter enable me to still play audio in my car or use my old, also expensive, iphone to TV adapter?  Or do all of these accessories just now become fancy chargers?  In which case I'd be financially better off buying a 12-pack of charge cables rather than half-a-dozen adapters.  Oh, and a new car with A2DP bluetooth.  :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Good catch - I've tweaked the article. There are tradeoffs no matter what model you choose.<br><br>• AT&T iPhone 5 can't use LTE outside the U.S. and Canada.<br><br>• Verizon iPhone 5 can't be used on GSM networks in the U.S.<br><br>• International iPhone 5 can't be used on AT&T's LTE network.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[That's correct. You can ask Verizon (after 60 days with previous iPhone models, I believe) to unlock the GSM slot and then use any compatible one. However, the nano-SIM format is new, so it might be a pain to get one in other countries. <br><br>The Verizon model has the three LTE world bands and the two Verizon LTE bands along with 3G CDMA (and ostensibly an unlisted 2G 1xRTT because Verizon still relies on that for voice) and all the GSM 2G/3G bands!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[" In short, you won’t want to buy an iPhone in the United States and expect to use it with LTE in Europe."<br><br>It looks like the Verizon/Sprint model is a superset of the ROW model. It has all of the 3G and LTE bands on the ROW model plus CDMA.]]></description>
