Marissa,The USB with the little block at the end is a USB to serial cord. I've had my Apex since June and I haven't the slightest Idea as to what it's for. I think it's for connecting the BrailleNote to a PC, but it's easier to use a USB cord, especially since you don't really see serial ports that often anymore.
