I have a fairly strong ability to correctly identify pitch of a given note/melody/key in my memory. Not, name the notes out of mid air kinda thing, but be able to pick out the key of a recording/song I know, and then verify it afterwards. If I worked at it hard enough, or played a pitched instrument on a more regular basis, I'm convinced I could cultivate that into something more closely resembling "absolute pitch".
I also like to point out that one can "hear" frequencies of audio in a similar fashion to "perfect pitch" in music. I've always believed it is something you can learn as a skill, assuming you have the aptitude/makeup for that kind of thing. I have read of their being genetic/physical predispositions to pitch and the ability to distinguish.
