Photos of the much rumored new mini-dock connector have surfaced on nowhereelse.fr. The site says its unable to verify the authenticity of the part; however, it lines up with previous reports from iLounge and 9to5Mac.

Take a look at the images below!

I thought all phone manufacturers were going to conform to one size

With a 9 pin connector it wouldn't have been reversible with a plug in type... Go maths! USB pictured is most likely the other end. It's a shame they didn't go for micro USB, I believe that the eu was trying to get phone makers to agree on a standardised port, makes a lot of sense.
