Sorry, that's a pretty weak argument. Are you saying Apple did that to protect us? Then wouldn't all portable music devices have this same weakness, like other iPods?
Nope. I'm wrong.
"The jack is recessed in order to maintain the integrity of that design". Specifically the shape of the iPhone. It isn't anything to do with whether it supports the plug or not. They couldn't make it flush mounted without having a small lump there so they recessed it.
In that interview, the guy says "the most popular headphones in the world" are iPod headphones. That means there are a lot of people out there using headphones which don't sound very good and are also a huge mugging target...
- no headphone jack AND no A2DP? my Curve has both...
There is a headphone jack. You just need that weird adapter thing for it and its a HTC thing, nothing to do with Google. The iPhone doesn't have A2DP either.
- T-Mobile? Seriously? Does HTC or Google know how crappy a company they are?
T-Mobile got an exclusive on Android handsets? If not then its just that T-Mobile contracted with HTC to buy the G1.
Apple use O2 in the UK and they're terrible. From what I hear of AT&T in the US, they're not much better.
- I like the open environment of the apps. From everything I've heard, the iPhone app store approval process is a nightmare, yet crap like I Am Rich still gets through anyway (they still never explained that one)
The approval process seems to be on the whim of whoever is reviewing your app. Quite a few possibly good things have been shot down because they're deemed to not be useful and then as you said, that I Am Rich thing gets through.
There are some other things that I think are neat, but the whole Google environment has me sold by its self. I'm extremely excited to see what other phones come out in the future.
Do Google reserve the right to use whatever you do on the phone for research and marketing purposes tho?
