I was at Palm/HP back when we did this on the Veer 4G smartphone... it only had a POGO-style magnetic connector on the side to support headphones, USB, and charging, but we shipped the phones with an adapter to allow using a 3.5mm-jack headset. We did it to make the phone as small as possible, but I don't think it was ever a well-loved decision.
- tempestn 13y agoAny idea why not? Looking at that pogo demo video, it seems like building the jack into the phone and supplying the adapter would be a perfect solution. I guess the main down-side is that it's another thing to keep track of. Hmm... one thing that might help with that is to include a slot in the charger for the adapter, just to have somewhere to put it that isn't likely to get lost.
