But it's a multifunction port. Which means it serves more than one purpose.

3.5mm does not allow for much flexibility.

The port allows for charging/data transfer to occur simultaneously, and also means they don't have to spoil the asthetics by adding a 3.5mm jack somewhere else.

@Chad:

How do you fit on it :-\

"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
