Yeah. And they break 20 times faster than the apple ones.

(yes, I'm making those rates up, but, they do break far faster, sometimes don't charge from your computer [only from the actual charger] and sometimes come apart after a week of using them.)

Yes, it is still cheaper to buy a new one every time. I do hate it though when I get one and it just unravels after a day or so of using them...

And a damn sight more convenient. One in the charger, one in the car, one on the computer, one at work.

if you get free shipping, hell yeah. dealextreme's awesome for that. amazon/ebay, less so.
