Lytro’s buzzworthy light-field camera got a snazzy new update that adds some much-wanted new manual controls, colors and accessories.

My goodness, it’s apparent that Apple is going to replace its 30-pin dock connector, but we’ve heard reports that it’s going to switch to an 8-pin option, a 9-pin Dock Connector and even a 19-pin plug. Which is it? Well, the latest iOS 6 beta…
