Maybe this isn't possible for a future hardware upgrade but, I wonder
what the possibility is of having at least some audio output on the BP
which one can hear without the headphones.
Normally speakers take up a lot of space and power, so its quite
understandable why the BP and other such devices would only have a
headphone output for audio.

When I was using my cell phone the other day, I thought, where is the
speaker?  Cell phones these days are really tiny, but somehow, some seem
to have a "speaker" function which makes the audio output loud enough to
be heard even if you hold the phone several feet from your head.  So,
what kind of speakers are these?  Would it be possible to include such a
speaker on a future model of the BP even if it were just for listening
to recorded memos, browsing and/or modifying settings, or a short amount
of reading or checking of info on a file?

Just a thought.
