sony already made waterproofed usb port for the core, so naturally it should arrive to the whole Z series. i was expecting the Z2 to have it. they should make all the next Z devices with this feature and i wouldn't mind if they ditch the magnetic port for slicker design.
The Core does not have a waterproofed USB port, the core should be inside the smartband, and the smartband will actually works as a cover/flap for the Core making it water resist... I don't know if it could be submerged in water..

A review I was reading last night. I cannot remember other links, but fairly sure that this is not the first device to have coverless usb.
Thx, hard to find for me.
I'm jealous of these japanese only devices :/

i read sony's site and seen no mention for covering the port. were did you read that? if true then as you said, the question is if it is possible to make usb port waterproof.
advantages for making usb port waterproof (if possible):
1. ease of use - when you think about a waterproof port you think about the average consumer. the average consumer don't see nicely spending another precious amount of money on a docking station. pretty important i'd say.
2. it's a strong statement and unique feature that is breakthrough that sony should lead and make the other manufacturers follow it like they do with waterproofing phone.
3. they can design the exposed port at the bottom like the lightning port of iphone and circle the port with a stripe that will make it look as cool as the headset jack. the docking port already hurts the design by itself.
about ultra, it was discussed many times here, for making it successful (not talking about marketing) they must:
1. make it as second flagship - meaning its got to have better specs then Z2.
2. some cool unique hardware and software features, like the note has. with or without s pen.
3. try to reduce its bezel to be more comfortable to operate and pocket friendly. the people i know who has note 3 carries it in their pants pocket.

i watched the whole video after CES ended and i recall him saying "mechanical sealing", that is the reason why i said the port itself is waterproofed in the first place since sony's site and other sites only mention that the core is ip58 certified. no mention for it having to be inside the flap to be protected against water. it's also the reason i expected Z2 to have wp port.

Locked bootloader and no Rom development are the drawbacks...
