They mentioned VASTLY improved sound quality and did not back it up!

What exactly does that mean? Louder more vibrant Sounds?
More Bass, BOSE quality sound? (LOL) or what they mentioned it in the keynote.

and dramatically improved audio.

Im hoping for the abilty to listen to a movie without headphones on with my fan on now! Its so quiet makes my PSP sound like a hifi stereo and thats not saying much.

For one thing the audio on my iPhone is nowhere nearly as good as the 1st generation nano that it replaced. IMHO it is about time they improved the audio back to the quality of the older iPods.

Does this "improved audio" mean through the headphone jack? Is the speaker better? Will I actually be able to hear the darn thing ring now?

They certainly glossed over that part.

If you can find BOSE published audio specs then we might be able to find out. But if you're like me, you can't ... and there's a reason for that ...
