In what can only be described as sensible behaviour, it's been reported today that 10 of the main mobile phone manufacturers have agreed to adopt a universal mobile phone charger.
The change will take place from 2010 and the all important connector will be a Micro USB (note that after reading comments on Guardian website and consulting with a colleague it has been established this is different from the Mini USB connector as is seen on many digi cameras).
Consumers vent their spleens whenever something like a £20 replacement charger gets in the way of our essential communication tools. Is this the beginning of harmonised electronic equipment? (I don't know what that means, but I like the sound of it)
