 i had one of those - i was part of the original team that did the HTC
reverse-engineering on 9 (!) different Wince smartphones back around
2003.  it was - and still most likely is - one of the most complex and
comprehensive hardware designs i've *ever* encountered.  the Audio IC
(an Akai 4641 i think) covered *SEVEN* separate audio paths, including
2 microphones, 4 speakers (reversible lid, remember?), car stereo
mode, bluetooth mode, and headphone / mic jack.  absolutely mad.

 bear in mind that any of these ideas require a full-time committment
of around 2 years to develop.  yes i really want to see them happen.
we'll find a way.

 in the meantime i cut/paste your message to here so it doesn't get forgotten:
