Not sure about A2DP support for bluetooth headphones (my 8525 supports them though), but it does seem a little silly that an "iPod" won't work with regular headphones without an adapter. Apple's way of giving the accessory makers a cookie. Thanks for greeding me out of my 5-10 bucks Apple!

I'll be fair though. My 8525 doesn't support regular headphones without a mini-USB to headphone adapter. However, my smartphone isn't advertised as an MP3 player either.

I'll call this a draw, but since the headphone jack is there, just "conveniently" placed out of reach, I think they did it intentionally and to penny pinch consumers for another few bucks.

Michael, I love the Airport Express feature request - I think I would use that and pretend I had a Sonos system! I also have to agree with the crippled headphone jack. I don't want to believe it was done that way to support a new accessory category of recessed-headphone-jack-converter-to-every-other-set-of-headphones-you-already-own products.
