Finally, after over a decade, manufacturers come to their senses. I
have been ranting about this (time
and time again for years
- especially since I started using BlackBerry devices - and
it is something long overdue.
Interestingly enough, I seem to have
lost a link where, only a few days ago, some manufacturers (in response
to an unusually lucid proposal from someone at the
EU, of all places) actually claimed this
would be impossible to do - which, is, of course, bullshit.
Micro-USB can provide all the power and data connectivity
required for today’s phones.
Update: here’s that piece. Actually, it was the President of the European Information & Communications Technology Industry Association, who said this “is legally and technically impossible to due differences in voltage and battery requirements within the European Union”. Guess actual industry members think otherwise, eh?
