I saw another article today the talk about how Apple is supposedly considering any number of various combinations for the new iPhone. Again, we don't know. But I don't think this rumor about taking away the headphone jack is the same as the business about the project keyboard. That may happen at some point. But I don't think technology is there. And they may not get rid of the on-screen keyboard even if they did the projection one. They're not mutually exclusive. This would be a hardware decision which if taken, would be very difficult to reverse in a subsequent model without Apple having lots of crow. And Apple is not known for eating crow, although Tim Cook has been better at that than jobs ever was. Mary
