Companies cooperating for the common good.....

The biggest cell phone manufacturers (Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, LG, and Nokia) have agreed to adopt a standard charging connector for their next generation of cell phones - micro USB. This means you'll be able to stop buying a new charger cable every time you get a new phone and also means you'll be able to charge your phone using power from your computer (or laptop).

It's about bloody time!
