To answer your EDIT2 - I suspect it&#x27;s because your main &#x2F; original post was somewhere between not-funny, and not-useful.  That is, you described a device that already exists (a mobile phone) in a roundabout way, and seem to be demanding that this device should be yet another mobile phone -- rather than considering the features of this particular device as delivered.<p>It&#x27;s possible that neither ASUS or Google considered the option of making a mobile phone, but this seems unlikely.  It&#x27;s equally unlikely they could develop the same kind of CPU&#x2F;AV grunt along with the features you want and still ship at USD$85.<p>To your other questions - there&#x27;s one USB port because this is intended to plug into something else (specifically using HDMI), and not have a deskload worth of cruft plugged in to it.  As observed in the article most people will use BT mouse &amp; keyboard.  Network (802.11ac) is built in.  What use more USB?
