Apple Patent Puts Flash Storage, Device Settings In Headsets

Apple ’s patent policy — filing for basically any idea that any employee is willing to chalk out , ever — gives us an endless supply of conjecture grist , some interesting , some not . Takethis patent of invention , which calls for flashgun microstorage in headsets and earbuds .

The patent of invention describes the sharing of equipment circumstance , preferences and even media between iPods and iPhones by means of a sort of overbold headset , which salt away personalizations in a humble stash of flash storage . As key out , it sounds a moment unusual , and its purpose is n’t entirely clear : most of the functions are thing that strike under the horizon of syncing , which is something that most iPod / iPhone user do regularly anyway , and which they have to do when buying a new gadget anyway , mooting the “ it makes transitioning easier ” angle .

But for certain setting , it makes some sense : volume and EQ preferences , for example , could be kept the same between gadget , ensure a uniform listening experience . It ’d be a teeny , tiny characteristic that most the great unwashed would n’t acknowledge , but it ’s far from implausible . [ Unwired View ]
