3rd Gen connector ?
Greets,
Does anyone know what type of connector the one on the bottom of the 3rd gen iPod is?
Or, where can I purchase the connector side that's in the dock half of the connector? (just the connector, not the wire, nor entire dock)
I think it has 30 pins.

as far as I know, its a custom one created by apple... Your best bet would be to buy a firewire cable, and cut the wire in half... You could also buy a usb/firewire one and cut the wire you don't need... if you screw up, you still have a functional cable...

I know but someone has to make it or knows who make it or the type of connector it is. Every other accessory has it. I called them and it was pretty interesting how they responded to me.
I told them flat out I was trying to make a custom cable and they got real shady on me. To do what, no it's a propietary cable and a manufacturer was subcontracted to make them, blah, blah ...
They told me they can't tell me who's the manufacturer.
I was hoping to build something clean from scratch. :(
I like that Bob Marley song in your quote. Checkout "Smile Jamaica" if you already haven't.
thanks

The connector is the USB one made by apple, It is needed for windows users, to use USB 2.0. It is $19 and heres the Link: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M9126G/A
