I'm guessing they can reverse engineer by examination of the 30 to 9 pin adapter Apple showed yesterday. Additionally, if they can map the chip in the 9 pin, they will hopefully be able to work something out.
Of course, Apple *might* just release the info to help users...(tongue firmly in cheek)
Unlikely. Encryption can't be got round like that.
To be clear though, it doesn't mean all cables are strictly Apple only. Just that the technology must be properly licensed for use via Apple by the OEM. Plenty of existing standards already work like that.
