Nate thanks again for taking the time to share your knowledge me.
Nate you hit the nail on the head. We feel the Pit of Despair often as we are a small company and our PodBreakout board is very popular. We are in this position where we are small and can produce large quantities, however when we get very large orders it can seem daunting. Most of our products are assembled by hand.
We make the black ones, but SparkFun doesn't carry them at the moment. You can get them here iPhone Style 4 Black Be sure to call SF customer service and ask them to carry the black ones though.
Sparkfun now has the PodSockets http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10327
Checkout what Reed Ghazala did with one of these.

90% of the pins are the same between the various Apple hardware revisions. What exactly are you trying to do?
Actually no they are not. If you look at page 8 of the pdf you linked to in that drawing pin 1 is the right most pin. Now if you flip the connector so that it is facing away from you pin one will be on the left.
The easiest way would be to stick a transistor inline with the power lead of the lcd and turn it off just before the cpu goes into the low power state.

We have a smaller version of the PodBreakout that fits inside the connector housing. It is called the PodBreakout Mini, SparkFun does not carry these, however you can find them here http://www.podgizmo.com/products/118-ipod-iphone-ipad-podbreakout-mini.aspx
We do manufacture a breakout board for this, however SparkFun does not carry it. See http://www.podgizmo.com/products/98-ipod-ipad-iphone-female-podsocket-breakout.aspx
No public wish lists :(
