1GBP is currently roughly US$2, although the dollar is still dropping.

You get USB ports on microcontrollers costing
less than a pound these
days.
I am not sure how much a pound is but know I got years ago a motherboard
(166 MHZ?)
with a USB port. The cable to connect to the PC case from the mother board
was about $75 Canadian. You figure how many pounds that would cost?
