I wonder if people that are interested in only the App to have their Headphones buttons remapped comfortably will be able to acquire that, and for what price. Not that I have done any research on Apps that already do that, since as I said, my headphones don't have a button. :)

You are correct. Apple did indeed patent it. I don't remember the source but distinctly remember reading that Apple had gotten just such a patent.
Not that all manufacturers seem to care since I have a handful of Nokias that do the same thing...
One of my long-term disappointments with Android is that they never used the modified plug the iPhone uses that also allows for volume control. But then, Apple may have patented it.
