What's non-standard about the current port, and in what way would a separate host-port be better than including a host-mode dongle/adapter with it? To me, the only argument I see against the current situation is the inconvenience of having to acquire a third-party adapter. It makes more sense to include an adapter in the package than to add a ~0.5" square port in an already-cramped device...

An SDR would be really cool, but if that happens, you know the interface won't be publicly available, and the code won't be open-source, right?
