Imagine going over your friend’s house with your battery low in need for a charger. Now imagine if you could simply ask “do you have a cell phone charger around,” rather than “do you have a charger for a iClone X300Ci series?” In Europe, it has become mandatory for all cell phones released to be using the fairly new Micro-USB charger across the board. It’ll be very interesting to see how Apple copes with the situation as their famous charger/USB adapter is popular among all their other devices such as the iPod. Many people don’t like the idea of having that, just because they are already stocked up on their brands adapters and do not fancy change for anything. In the long run, this new regulation will help benefit everyone. What do you guys think?
