It is common for us to change charger each time we switch to another brand of cellphone. Sometimes even when we switch from older type of cellphones to newer ones within the same, there was a change in charger, example in this case is Nokia and Sony Ericsson, which once changed their plug charger platform. But this is not the case anymore.
The GSM Association and 17 cellphone manufacturers announced today that they had agreed to take the initiative to produce and use single format of charger (universal charger) by 2012.
This universal charger will be in the form of Micro USB, and will have more efficiency (Rated 4 stars). Major brands such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Motorola already join the initiative and start working to make this happen. Should this succeed, it will save 50% of materials, and potentially reduce up to 51,000 tons of wasted used chargers.
This will be great news for average daily users like you and me. Because if this is true micro-USB, then we will be able to just plug in a micro-usb cable to our laptop, or desktop, or any other electronic equipment with USB slot. It will need less energy, and also much more efficient.
Strange that some Chinese brands cellphones already use micro USB charger, and it takes quite a while for the GSM Association and the majority of manufacturers to start adopt it.
