I already have a perfect set (a couple, actually) of headphones. I see no valid justification for removing the jack except forcing the user to bend further to the existing Apple environment. There are slick and slim android phones with jacks, it's not a technical issue. Disclaimer: I'm not an Apple user, but I'm a an avid listener and work in music industry. Unfortunately there's a bunch of "killer apps" for musicians which have no alternative for Android. It's a pity there's no escape from the walled gardens.
