I don't think Apple had much to do with the 3.5mm jack decision because Nokias N95 has a 3.5mm jack and has been on sale in the US since 2007, and HTC are well known for not including a 3.5mm jack on their 'phones.
If it's true then Android really is going to be an also-ran because it'll be left with all the features that Apple consider not useful enough to want to protect. Al.
