i agree lack of an HDMI or component cable is pretty shitty on apples part.. but what can you expect.. back when i got my iPod photo they used to package an AC adapter with it.. now a days... they AC adapter isnt packaged and they charge you $30 for one.
Yeah, I'm surprised by the lack of accessories these days. I got a 4th gen iPod a couple years ago and it came with the AC adapter, a base, and two different data cables. It kicked the bucket 11 months later (barely covered by warranty), and the replacement 5th gen iPod came in a much smaller box with only a little sleeve thing. I didn't really care in that case, but it seems ridiculous with this product to not package in some cables, especially when you're Apple and your game is keeping it simple for the consumer.
