iPod touch lacks recessed headphone jack

The ability to summon playback controls without having to "slide to unlock" may be one new feature that you'll see on the iPod before on the iPhone, but it's not the only trump that the new product has. An eagle-eyed commenter over at MacUser pointed out to me that the iPod touch does not have a recessed headphone jack, à la the iPhone. I checked the 360° QTVR model, and sure enough he's right. In fact, it took me a minute to find the headphone jack at all, because it's not on the top, like either the current iPhone or iPod model. Instead, Apple's moved the jack to the bottom of the unit, next to the dock-connector port, where it resides on the nano. I find myself wondering why they didn't do the same exact thing on the iPhone? Grrr. Copyright Mac Publishing LLC. This RSS feed is for personal non-commercial use only.
