Dropping the analog-output port of the headphone jack would allow all digital DRM straight to the speaker. The analog hole still exists, but it's smaller.
Interesting impact on developers that use the ADC/DAC for other things, like Square and sensing apps.
It'd be a surprise to see the jack go away at first, but retain it for a while before a phase-out.
