the iphone has 8 or 16 gig built-in, with no need to buy extra cards
and swap among them.  granted, one can't have more memory than what is
built-in (at least until there's a 32 gig version released), but most
people don't need that much memory in a phone.  for those who do, there
are obviously alternatives.

i don't know what a 'usp' connector is, but if you mean usb, the iphone
charges off usb.
