Apple, how about making a real hardware-based Dock?
It sucks having to plug in all my cables manually when I get to work. And I ain't using any stinking ugly third-party docks.
I don't think the market is large enough to warrant it, and since most of Apple's sales are consumer-based at this point I think the market would be even smaller than the business sector.
I understand that given the current patent system, it is necessary to patent just about anything and everything just in case somebody else patents it instead and decides to sue.
However, I would be disgusted by Apple if they try to enforce this patent. It would be despicable to try and profit from others on such a fundamentally obviously concept.
WRONG WRONG WRONG and MSFT will fight Apple if they have to. But google Y'Z' Dock and Kubulator..... He was the inventor. Haven't you guys ever watch Silicon Valley?
I bet half the people here also think Apple invented SPOTLIGHT.
MSFT invented it before VISTA, it was released by MAC OS X, it was journaling, MSFT didn't get it out in time, Apple did, yet I don't see MSFT taking on Apple saying sorry, you have to get rid of spotlight, it uses journaling, something we invented, maybe they will someday and maybe Mr. Koubulator will take on Apple.
Get a grip, get the facts first.
Spotlight isn't journaling. Filesystems have been using journaling for over a decade. Hell, the meta data approach to Spotlight comes from BeOS, dips***.

I think Apple's idea of the dock is an AirPort Extreme with more ports.
Seeing as a wireless dock is a desire I just projected onto a company that makes things I like, I'm already excited about the AirPort home.

Apple's Dock comes from 1988 NeXTSTEP, dips***.
