All Cellfones to Have Same Charging plug

[iMav]

Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, LG, and Nokia have agreed to use micro USB as a charging-plug standard for phones. Your days of buying a bagful of accessories every time you switch phones have come to an end. Well, not quite. You will still have to toss out all your mini USB chargers, as this decision in truth indicates a rejection of that budding de facto standard. Yep, all the carriers and accessories makers will have one last chance to profit before the standard is in place.

Dunoo how much time will it take to come into effect...
A very good move indeed...

Good news.
Now people won't "ask do you have <Brand name> Charger?"
They will simply come & take yours without ur notice.
I like the idea of universal.

News is good but how we have to wait for this to come into effect??


maybe 5 years at least to fully see this unified charger into place??

 

[infra_red_dude]

i guess until the stock produced is sold out completely.

Now finally moto and SE users can stop banging their heads over the lack of availability of their chargers in remote areas of India.

Thank god for this! I don't know why they even started with these different plugs. I hope those digital camera manufacturers also get some sense knocked into their heads and make a standard USB port for all cameras...
