Micro-USB to be universal EU phone charger http://blogs.zdnet.com/igeneration/?p=1964 Hopefully this adherance to standards will migrate to the United States so that all our portable electronics uses the same port for charging and data. IMHO, the following should all use a standard-sized power/data port: 1. Cellphones 2. Earbuds 3. GPS 4. Cameras 5. Disks It would be great if our congressmen had the same balls as the EU. Unfortunately there is much money to be had selling custom interface devices for power and data ports. US manufacturers have strong lobbys. Our congressmen have no business interfering with the electronics manufacturers- at least in non-safety related matters. If you don't like what they are selling, don't buy the product. We have more than enough government busy-bodying as it is. I have no problem at all with the government requiring standardized interfaces for common electrical devices. Well, as long as the devices are of similar size and power requirements. Can't imagine charging my UPS battery through a microUSB connector! |

I've been a business consultant for many years. so the reverse engineering of software is a side gig? Having more than one specialty seems to be difficult for you to grasp. no, just claiming things that have no facts behind them bothers me. |
