Yup. A four-port USB option would be nice, though, to make it just a touch easier (and cheaper) for those who want to pile on the features.

With only two, after you've added a keyboard and mouse, you're already out of expansion options for the desktop pc use-case. (Of course you can add easily a hub, but I just have a feeling that you really shouldn't have to.)

pick up a Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard and a compatible mouse (like the M305) and they can both use the same USB receiver. plus, it's a solar powered wireless keyboard!

* you'll need to bind the mouse and keyboard to the same receiver on a windows machine before you connect it to your linux box until linux unifying support is available.

There are obviously trivial workarounds to the problem. I was simply making the point that it didn't have to be a problem in the first place.
