Re: [iPad] Apple is rumored to be killing the headphone jack. Go Apple!

 

I guess you don't remember Apple deciding to switch from FireWire to usb then to 13 pin then to lightning with power huh? Or eliminating the floppy drive that angered many and they said spoke was stupid to do so same with the cd drive. This is the same. They are eliminating a port. A very old one. I think it's for the best.

I love spending money for things Apple obsoletes.  I just spent over a hundred dollars on a device to break out an audio signal from the new Apple TV because they eliminated the digital audio port.  And I'm having problems with that device because the new ATV is too "smart".  Sigh.  This is apparently the new, Cookish Apple - little innovation, but lots of tweaks.  I could live without that.  I'm still an Apple fan, but not so much as I was a few years ago.

I suppose if they eliminate the headphone jack, someone will find something to provide an equally good line in through the power jack.  I hope so.  Bluetooth sucks.

Bluetooth is short.. You pair devices. I think the interference would be minimum. Unlike wifi that's meant to spread over long distances.

Could well be. 

I wonder how if BT is everywhere, how that will pan out? As how wifi 2.4 is for many in towns.

I do think that the long term push is wireless so that may be Bluetooth

It sound like an extreme change, but in reality it isn't. If the purpose was to push Bluetooth as the go to connection, um, no thanks.
