Another Headphone Jack Rant

So I bought a $28 Colby MP3 player for my 5-year-old daughter. Basically a iPod Shuffle rip-off. Nice little device. Like the iPhone, it has a special headphone jack — a super mini as opposed to the iPhone’s normal-with-restricted-space. But the result is the same: you can’t plug in normal headphones, only the earbuds that come with it.
But the difference is that Colby threw in an adapter for free. So a $28 MP3 player comes with an adapter, but the $500-$600 iPhone doesn’t! This continues to piss me off. Sorry to bring it up again.
