As I predicted OVER A YEAR ago about using proprietary plugs for headphones is complete and utter rubbish, someone eventually came to their senses!!!
HTC saying they will be dropping the silly extUSB port, because nobody cared about about it, except HTC itself. I don’t remember my local BestBuy ever had in stock headphones with extUSB plug (Circuit City might had them – Gigitty-Gigitty)
We’ve seen HTC already wising up to this problem with the Hero, though we might have to trudge through a few more extUSB-only devices in the immediate future. Fine, whatever it takes, - you can even keep extUSB on there, if you insist - just give us a plain ol’ 3.5mm headphone jack, too
