I understand your point. I get annoyed at the different ports on my various computers/devices that I will never use and the occasional lack of one I would use. I am not sure I am paying extra, and basically that would be my choice whether to buy it or not so if the overall cost was higher because of these ports I would probably buy something else. I am a tad thrifty.
I have noted various non dangly small adapters IPod to USB for sale at dollar stores, bed bath and beyond etc. $2-$5 IIRC. Might be worth it for neatness.
