CTIA Behind Push for 3.5mm Headset Jacks
This doesn't make any sense
Stereo headphones for music are 3.5mm, but that's not the same kind of device. 3.5mm voice headsets are probably much LESS common than 2.5mm.
3.5mm has a form and function problem (too big, only audio).
If they want to be forward thinking: 2 microUsb ports (data and audio). People are buying either, cheap headphones (jack doesn't matter at that price point), studio-quality headphones (and USB features/controls like added), and BT wireless headphones.
The 3.5mm is yesterday's news, likely to keep some vendor happy (Sony?), we'll all be on BT wireless phones within the next 5yrs anyway and the studio professionals will want USB (for added features).
