   From the Developer Program page, the new unit still use 6 AA battery: http://mindstorms.lego.com/press/LEGO%20MINDSTORMS%20Issues%20Call%20for%20NXT%20Great%20Developers.aspx

But it’s got USB. And USB is powered, right? Is there any reason not to use that source?

Powered USB port can deliver up to 5V and 500mA, so that is insufficent for LEGO motors.
