But when they mention that the Mic is also not going to work, that's what is going to keep people away. Also, what if the button itself doesn't work, like for play/pause? I guess we'll have to wait and see. And let's not get into why the iPhone shouldn't have these controls. That's a decision for us to make (or obey, in some cases). There are plenty of other scenarios where this comes in handy, driving being just one of them. Just volume controls would have been fine.
