For those who aren't afraid of a little hacking (once I have a freerunner), I'm sure it would be possible to cut a couple traces or unsolder the original capacitors. Then replace them with something else. Like how people have been known to replace the stock capacitors in an ipod with the infamous black magicgates (audiophile approved caps? You can google them...). There small and users have been able to fit them inside the small space of an ipod. <br>
<br>Also, whats the possibility of using bluetooth headphones? <br><br>I'm sure once the freerunner is made fully available to the community, the Openmoko team may find much help from the community in resolving any bugs that may pop up. Just as how linux is as great as it is today.<br>

</div>So? No way to get it working with some kind of headphones?<br>
This is not a good news to me! :(<br>
