The problem with all this forward thinking is that it leaves the hearing impaired out. Jonathan Mosen has done some very good writing on this topic. I personally have the equipment to deal with the loss of the headphone jack. But in thinking of what it will mean for others, I think it is a stupid idea at this time and, if it is just to make the damned phone a hair thinner, it is clearly not worth it and is just another money-making angle for Apple. But this one is coming at the expense of a fairly large and growing segment of the population.
