[Community] Thoughts about headphone with button(s)

[Ryan de Laplante]

I plan to use Replicant OS (Android distribution) on my Neo900. There are 
headphones & headsets that are made for Android.  Since we'll never have iOS 
on the Neo900, I think it might make more sense to support headsets designed 
for Android.  I don't know how they are different than iPhone headsets or why 
they are different, but if we could support both kinds that would be even 
better.

Thanks,
Ryan
