Apple may make more money on people having to replace an easy to use headphone conveter for $99. The original android spec for 1.0 based on the HTC g1 reference device had a hardeware keyboard like Blackberry but it had all digital audio. You needed a micro usb to 8th inch convertor which was really easy to lose. After the lessons learned with the g1, subsequent Android phones added in the 8th inch audio jack and lost the hardware keyboard. There's a reason why the 8th inch is such a big deal its a standard that goes back to the 1880s.
