HTC; 3.5mm headset jacks coming on most future devices

The problem with using a 3.5mm headset jack is that you will also need a port for syncing and charging your device. Thus you will have two cables hanging from your device as you charge and enjoy music. HTC has been including a small adapter with all recent devices that gives you 3.5mm and 2.5mm headset jack options, along with another ExtUSB port to charge/sync your HTC device at the same time as you listen to music all through a single port on the device. Also, by using the ExtUSB port HTC has been able to make devices more compact and save some space.

Then again, my standard practice is to listen to music and podcasts while I am on the train and not connect my device to sync or charge so I rarely am in the situation where I need to plug in a pair of headphones and a power cable at the same time. So, I guess I'll stick in the pro-3.5mm headset jack camp and get behind this movement. Just about every single one of the Nokia devices I use, with the exception of the E71, use a standard 3.5mm headset jack and I find I use them more often for media consumption than I do my HTC devices.
