Hence I propose, that there should be 2 separete USB interfaces: Originally Posted by Hurrian Well, there's already a USB slave interface up top, so why add a third USB PHY? I think that in addition to 5 pins on the side of the device (see http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/259/jolla.jpg), a dumb V+ and V- a la Nokia barrel connector power supply would do. Assuming the connector on the external housing is keyed with a small notch, I doubt people would stick the USB portion into the charging portion.
