microUSB to become the standard charger plug in the EU next year

30 December, 2010
As we say goodbye to 2010, the European Union says goodbye to un-standardized phone chargers. It's been over a year in the making, but microUSB will be the standard charger plug for European mobile...

        Looks like FastPort will say bye-bye from now. FastPort is good but it deteriorates very fast. This will be a good news since this will bring convenience to all. When will this be applied? Is it only EU countries?

          Just remember this covers chargers only and not Data cables!!!

          Maybe you'll have to carry 2 cables for your iPhone

                      this is a bright idea most especially to those techie people, like me, who suffers in bringin' hundreds of different charger.
                      and on the environmental side, which I also belong as a Mountaineer, this is one of the most effective way of conserving and saving mother Earth. I hope this is a global project.
