Default Head units in the aftermarket

I'm in the market for one and just wondering if there are any with a USB slot so we can put a memory stick into it and listen to music instead of either burning it to disc or using our Ipod

Most of Kenwoods new decks as well as all of Eclipses have USB now.

When I was looking at new decks I ruled out the ones with a USB port on the front for the obvious restriction of not being able to close the front door when you have a memory stick in. I would probably pick up one of the rear mounts like the Alpine and use an extension to relocate the connection to somewhere like in the secret compartment or glovebox.
