On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

    Really? A long day out, the phone almost empty and you want to listen the music? It happens to me quite often, that’s why I decided to buy a DAP.

      iPhones have like 8-20 hours of charge now, depending on what I’m doing. My old iPod is <4 hours, maybe <2, but it’s enough for a walk. And if I’m out, where would I be charging it? I don’t usually carry a phone charger and wall wart. If I was out for days, I’d use my laptop to charge it, while listening ON THE LAPTOP, which has analog headphone jacks.

      So, it’s a pointless conflict.
