Apple Patent Filed for Intergrated External Sound
Apple filed an interesting patent that involve methods for integrating external sound into your iPhone or iPod. In this patent that was filed, Apple describes methods for integrating external sounds in with music or even recording the external sound for later playback.
What intrigued me most is an application that involves the user being able to hear announcements from the pilot or flight attendants. This application would also allow a person to speak to an attendant if you needed anything, all without taking off your headphones. The external Sound could also be integrated into the music in which you are currently listening.
If you missed an announcement, that is OK because you would be able to rewind and listen to it again. I like where Apple is going with this.
