Micro-USB connector as universal mobile phone chargerThe world’s biggest mobile phone makers and network operators have backed plans to create a universal phone charger.

Besides saving phone users some hassles, the specifications for the new device also include a 50% reduction in standby energy consumption.

The micro-USB connector (pic) will be used as the common charging interface.

Firms to back the plan include Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG, T-Mobile, Orange, 3, AT&T and Vodafone [more on BBC and Telegraph]
