I would like to see the N900 come packed with one of these:

It's a microUSB to 3.5mm headphone adapter eliminating the need for a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack in the N900. The benefits are many:
1) It frees up internal room for more hardware (extra micro USB, for example).
2) It forces audio over USB, which can be useful for digitally perfect, crystal-clear, audiophile grade sound reproduction from the N900. Great for home stereo hookups.
3) It allows power users the choice of bypassing the in-pack microUSB to 3.5mm adapter for use with an efficient portable amp and HiFi headphones.
4) It's a
very
simple and low cost solution.
5) The headphone output can be controlled via software, allowing the adapter to act as a line-out, for quick and easy stereo hookup.
6) It can accommodate wired headsets complete with microphone input.
Ideally, this adapter would have the ability to tightly 'clip' to the headphone jacks base, eliminating the need to re-connect it each time you want to listen, or reducing the possibility of it coming loose in the pocket.
Together with usb charging, this would free up a great deal of internal space. The current 3.5mm headphone jack and the DC power input could be wholly eliminated in this scenario.

YARR!
