It does, sort of. There are accessories for microphones and a couple of cables that do plug into regular line ins.
Some open source developers are actually trying to build a WMA to ACC converter. However they were have trouble with it, and I haven't heard anything from it for a while.
Anyways, I believe Apple dropped the bomb on this. I was actually quite disappointed with this year's Macworld Expo. It was just Final Cut Express, new g5 x-servs and RAIDs, iLife, and those mini-ipods. Don't get me wrong, these are good products, but most people expect more from Apple these days with expos. Well maybe it will be better as WWDC.
Anyways I don't know what Apple was thinking about the mini-ipods. Everyone was hoping for a $100 to $150 model, but that didn't appear. The 15gig $300 iPod is a much better value than that mini-ipod
