This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for - I currently have an iHome IP99 that I bought when I had my iPhone. I’ve been using my iPad with it but it’s pretty clunky (I’ve got my charging cable hooked up to it, and am using the apple case as a stand to put it on top of the IP99, and have a line-in jack cable plugged into it). I’ve been waiting and hoping for something that would just let me dock and use the iPad as is, and this looks to be exactly the solution I wanted.
