	[* black] The first of the two microphones inside the iPhone is the Knowles S1950.
-	[* black] Knowles describes its MEMS microphones as being built with a patented CMOS/MEMS technology platform that continues to support high performance and high density innovation in portable electronic devices. The new design variables include smaller sizes, lower profiles and mounting options, increased output capacities, and new digital audio options that eliminate analog noise. For manufacturers, surface mount designs eliminate off-line subassembly production costs.
+	[* black] Knowles describes its [link\|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone#MEMS_microphone\|MEMS microphones] as being built with a patented CMOS/MEMS technology that allows for very small footprints for their packages, lower profiles, and several mounting options. What this means is a surface-mount mic that has a footprint of XX by XX mm.
+	[* black] For manufacturers, surface mount designs eliminate off-line subassembly production costs -- the mic is integrated directly to the logic board at the same time as the other components.
	[* black] Integrating the circuitry with the microphone lowers the BOM costs and simplifies manufacturing.
