Does the USB port pass through the DisplaPort signal?
USB-A to to DisplayPort adapter cables are now available, but the only thing standing in the way of using a mix of third-party solutions to connect the new USB-C Macbook to a DisplayPort external display is the lack of a splitter cable. In other words, you can connect to USB-A devices and DisplayPort-enabled displays from the single USB-C port, but you can't charge the laptop at the same time. If this accessory passes-through the DisplayPort signal to the USB-A port, then the Startech USB-A to DisplayPort adapter cable would enable simultaneous external display and charging.

Can't charge iPhone 5 using the USB port of this adapter
I can't charge my iPhone 5 using the USB port of this adapter - is something wrong with my adapter or is that by design? If so, I am surprised that you didn't mention it, it seems like a pretty basic requirement.

Can you daisy-chain 2 of these adapters together and power 2 external monitors from the new March 2015 Macbook?
If you daisy-chain 2 of these adapters together, you would have 2 HDMI-out ports. Can the new March 2015 Macbook power 2 external monitors in this way?

AnswerNo
All ports can be used simultaneously -- please note the USB C limitations below.
The far left port is USB C Power input. It will not accept data input or data output. This port is only for Power.
The middle port is HDMI which outputs video and audio with the following specs:
1080p at 60Hz
OR
UHD (3840 by 2160) at 30Hz -- Commonly referred to as 4K.
The far right port is USB 3.0 A data in and out.- Answered by Alex N from Chicago
