Charging Ports will be Standardized
Have you ever had the exasperating experience of not being able to find your charger and then having to order a new one? Or going to nearest Verizon store to find the right one for your phone? Or not being able to lend your friend your charger when she needs to charge her phone? Those days should be coming to an end soon.
Earlier this year, a group of wireless phone manufacturers have agreed to use the same charging port on all their models by 2012. The companies who agreed to this are Nokia, LG, Motorola, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. I don’t know if Apple has agreed to this which might be a strike against the IPhone in an open market. The idea here is that manufacturers can ultimately safe money by shipping mobile phones without a power charger. Since power chargers will be standard, they’ll be a commodity item which you’ll probably be able to get at the corner 7-11. No more worrying about losing your charger!
