Apple FINALLY goes standard

[JBeukema]

A large conglomerate of mega corps has backed the European Commission to support a standard of micro-USB connection for charging. The biggest surprise here is that Apple is joining in the support which means that they too will also adopt micro-USB for charging in their wireless devices.

For any other company this wouldn't mean much but because Apple has used the same port design since its iPod inception this could have a wide scale affect on its consumers.

The Europeans are tough when it comes to this stuff, unlike the US that caved in to Microsoft's dominance and near monopoly, they actually force change.
