All mobiles to use same charger within a year 5:54PM, Monday 29th June 2009
Just seen this on channel 5 news, which is great as I have rakes of different chargers in the home and the car.
Top mobile phone manufacturers have signed an EU-backed Memorandum of Understanding to produce a common charger for all handsets, reducing waste and compatibility problems from proprietary chargers.
The agreement was signed by all of the major manufacturers, including Nokia, Sony Ericsson, LG and Apple, and proposes a single charger that uses the Micro-USB connector.
cool, and about time.
