A standard port on an Apple product?

I dont think they will change, their excuse will be "well we dont want a universal charger being hooked up to our products" This is always a problem with cell phones. I burned out many a phones, luckily under warranty, with cheap chargers. If its Motorola I get a Motorola Charger If its Apple I get an Apple charger or one they sell at the apple/att store.

HAHAHA! I like that...

[Limegrntaln]

Yeah I dont see it happening

[reanimationxp]

If they actually do it, which they won't, I'll only have 3 words. (For them and every other company who syncs a device using a connector OTHER than mini-usb.)

ABOUT F***ING TIME.

If we keep injecting common sense into the electronics market, hell we might just make some progress!

1st and 2nd used Firewire, actually. 3rd gen and up had the dock connector, but I think up until the "picture" iPod, they all still supported Firewire.

Mini usbs are cool. It makes no difference to me really though. I want wifi syncing, but don't care with which type of connector it charges with. Having everyone on the same page would work if you could have one cable for all phones which is highly unlikely.

Well it is micro not mini they say they are going to use. Not much difference other than the micro is newer and smaller meaning everything i own that has one of the 2 is a mini... I think they will include the micro as an extra port if anything at all. The micro cannot do all the things that the 30 pin can be used for. Examples video out and so on and so forth. But I hope this does happen. And then I hope every other company on this planet follows suit with every small piece of electronics. I understand power hungrey items are not going to work off of 5vdc, but everything that can should have the same connector. That would mean bad news for Green Plug!! But on the plus side the Mophie air already has the micro usb port!!

ps... I want wifi syncing as well!! I want remote wifi syncing!! Here's to dreams!

SD Cart Slots on Macbooks don't count?

[CaptainChaos]

Ok I didn't realize there was a difference between micro and mini. I use the Air as well and the cable works just fine. No issues there.

That took long enough! They want these micro usb charging ports by 2010??? Chances of that are SLIM to none!

[k0mpresd]

i dont see how this is going to work. the phone requires several pins pulled down to a lower voltage via a couple resistors to tell the phone its ok to pull power from usb. the 3g does at least. the 2g charges off a couple firewire pins i believe. or thats the way i understood how it works at least. it doesnt work off straight 5v usb and ground. how are they going to fit all that in to a mini usb?

[ronblade]

Now why do I need this one so much? Its not a matter to be taken care off.cause I already have one and its fine for me don't need the new one.
