Standardised mobile phone chargers in the EU



This article appeared in the Straits Times yesterday - a very big step forward and something that should be adopted outside of the EU / Europe. In a nutshell, the EU has managed to line up 14 phone manufacturers (representing ~90% of mobile phones sold) who have agreed to use microUSB mobile phone chargers as an industry standard. Think of all the crap that is going to save - no need to bin old phone chargers, no need to bundle phone chargers with new phones, and so on.
