We’d heard this mentioned as a possibility at past press events. This was HTC’s response when we reached out for comment:Source: Mobile Crunch
The vast majority of devices we launch after Hero will have a 3.5mm jack. Devices that we have already announced but that still come out after Hero will not necessarily be a part of this change.
So it sounds like we may still see a few handsets hit the shelves with worthless audio ports - but aural salvation is on the way.
HTC plans to adopt 3.5mm jacks on nearly all phones
