USB = convenience
i just don't know how much clearer it can be said ... if you want to upload/download something to a device then USB is the most convenient.

I'd agree with you if we were talking about plugging the device into the computer. In that case, it effectively has a USB port since it connects via USB.
I just can't see anyone uploading or downloading something on the go from a flash drive. A) when do you think you'd do it B) what would you do it with (I conceded with media, but I don't think they'll allow a VLC player app) and C) why couldn't you just email it or transfer it wirelessly.
A more interesting prospect than USB is whether Apple will employ the technology they have in the Air that allows taking over of a computer's disc drive. That would allow someone to watch movies over it, transfer files, or potentially, install things.
