Hi Nobby,

It hasn't been used for anything yet (just "reserved for future use"), but I did speculate about some potential uses on page 3 of my SOLO review. You can read it here: http://www.slingcommunity.com/article/24597/Slingbox-SOLO-Review/

What do you think it will be used for?

The USB port is 'for future use'. On the SOLO that currently means the planed SingLink Wireless USB WiFi adapter. Nothing else is planned currently, but that doesn't mean something else won't be done in the future.

Right now you can plug things into it to get power - charge your phone, iPod, etc. That's about it.
