I'd REALLY love to know why they don't work with iPhones. I like my default iPhone headphones, but if these are that much better and will drown out the annoying noises at work (you have no idea), I would love a pair. I just don't understand since they do basically the same things that the iPhone headphones do. I can only hope that it's a firmware thing that will be fixed in 2.2. Otherwise, that's one boneheaded move by Apple.
Yeah. Although, I'm assuming that if Apple sticks with not "officially" saying that the in-ears are iPhone compatible, they'll still at least partially work (ie, sound, mic, and button; but not the volume).
I guess we'll wait and see...
