Gross, the dev board uses micro-USB. It's 2024! Otherwise amazing work. Exactly what's needed to compete with the existing giants.

FWIW the Pimoroni Tiny 2040 and Tiny 2350 use usb-c, but as mentioned by other commenters, the cost for these usb-c boards is higher.

I love having usb-c on all my modern products, but with so many micro-usb cords sitting around, I don't mind that the official Pico and Pico 2 are micro-usb. At least there are options for whichever port you prefer for the project you're using it in.

The Pico 2 Plus[1] has USB-C, and seems quite reasonably priced to me given you get 16MB of Flash and 8MB PSRAM.
