Several third parties are jumping out ahead of the curve to deliver adapters that will connect your iPhone 5‘s Lightning port to your old 30-pin accessories. The good news is that they are cheaper than Apple’s own adapter and will be available several days/weeks ahead of Apple’s first party plugs.
For example, here’s a Nanotch third party cable adapter for $16 at Amazon. This iTronz plug was only $10; however, it’s currently showing that it’s unavailable. A bit more, but this plug is only $15. All are a fair deal better than the Apple branded cable adapter and plug at $39 and $29, respectively.

WD My Passport Edge for Mac
WD just announced its new line of portable USB 3.0 hard drives – the My Passport Edge and the My Passport Edge for Mac. The new drives are formatted for PCs and Macs, respectively, and both sport an ultra slim design. The USB 3.0 interface makes the new Mac drives compatible with the new Macbook Pro and Macbook Air models that now offer USB 3.0 and, of course, is backward compatible with USB 2.o interfaces.
WD My Passport Edge (PC version)
The My Passport Edge for Mac features an aluminum case that lends itself to the current Mac styling, while the PC version is an all plastic case. The Mac version is compatible with Time Machine out of the box. The PC version is preloaded with WD’s SmartWare automatic backup software (which works quite well from my experience).
The My Passport Edge (for PC) retails for $109.99, while the My Passport Edge for Mac retails for $119.99. Check availability here at B&H Photo.
