The point here is that all iPod's sooner or later will be phones, so they will lose the iPod moniker, which will make it pratically impossible for iPod's to reach 300 Million unit sales, not to mention 500 Million. The shuffle may well stay round for those who don't want a phone or don't want to take one with them. iPhone this year, iPhone nano early next etc.
As much as any audiophile would hate to hear [pun fully intended], the ear is a purely digital receiver. Yes I said it, a biological ear is a digital receiver. It is as near a perfect fourier-transform as exists. It is even proven to be susceptible to the same close frequency masking problems that computer based transforms are. There is nothing about a human ears frequency response potential that isn't known to exact digital limits. That means we can design design and manufacture circuits that create sound more perfect than the ear can receive.

You are absolutely correct!
I have tried to explain this to people, but they are too much in shock after I tell them, to want to believe it.
Also, eyes have about a million nerve connections to the rest of the brain, while our ears have only about 30 thousand. We also lose those connections from the ears as we get older.

categorize sounds would be a huge benefit.

The ear is an imprecise mechanism.
