I believe there are lot of relativity in so called "absolute pitch".  In 
my ear training courses, I could see that very often, students will 
develop pitch memory within the range of their instrument.  A violonist 
for example, would not discriminate bass notes as easily as treble 
notes.

I am not one those "gifted ones" but I always wondered how a perfect 
pitch ear set at 440 would react  when it comes to listen to some 
european ochestras with tuning forks grinded at 450.
