The smaller 8-Pin connector is much smaller to the previous rumored 19-Pin connector, for comparison the current iOS standard connector is of a 30-Pin standard. The new connector could also allow the iPhone 5 to be connected to docks and other cables in both landscape and portrait orientation according to iLounge.

Their source also claims that the iPhone 5 will feature enhanced Bluetooth 4.0 features:

The feature would enable, say, a future iPod nano to display iMessages received by an iPhone, record voice memos that could be shared via the iPhone, and even initiate phone calls through its own headphones,

It could also conceivably let you make iPhone calls from your iPad (or possibly even recent Macs), assuming the iPhone was paired with the computer over Bluetooth.
