Apple backs common charger for mobiles


	Quote: Apple is a surprise signatory to an agreement by leading phone and mobile technology makers to harmonise chargers and standardise on the micro-USB connector. http://www.macuser.co.uk/news/259117/

There was speculation that Apple may not agree to this, so here it is.

Then, I'll be waiting for the next generation. My current 'phone uses Micro-USB, so no need to buy new cables or chargers when upgrading to the next iPhone...

Just got a new Blackberry Curve at work. It has micro USB where as the old one had mini USB. Cue a trip under the table to plug the cable in. A bit annoying.
