(thanks travors)
On Monday, the Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP)—a forum dominated by operators but including manufacturers such as Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and LG—announced that its members had agreed on micro-USB as the future common connector.
Micro-USB isn’t the same as the mini-B-plug “mini-USB” we have now on most Blackberries and Motorola phones, but it’s nice that they’ve finally agreed on one connector.
Of course, Apple won’t use it…
