That is *not* the definition of "overpriced" you fscking *idiot". You *seriously* think that if a product sells unit one, that it's not "overpriced"? You don't think people ever cough-up the money for "overpriced" products, especially when the available products that meet their needs are artificially restricted?

God damn,you are stupid. "Every single user will want to use this" is *not* the criteria for including a feature. Face it, USB devices are useful and ubiquitous.

And Apple charges companies how much of a licensing fee to make devices that connect to their proprietary interface?

No USB port.
