Is anyone else getting tired of carrying 3 or 4 chargers around with them? I'm not an electrical engineer and I guess I'm not really talking about laptops here, but if you are a manufacturer creating a phone, tablet, or some other similarly sized gadget, I'd love to know why you would choose anything but Micro USB as your charging interface. I understand that some batteries are bigger than others. I understand that some batteries mothers are bigger than other batteries mothers....but surely this is a solvable problem.
Okay, if you are Apple, you have a bazillion other accessories that are already out there in consumers' hands that use your special iPhone connector pinout...and we all have an iPhone and probably an iPad charger...and ahem, why are those different? So that's okay.
If you are Sony, I will let it slide that you chose Mini USB before Micro USB was popular or existed and so the PS3 accessories and PSP (kinda) will charge with Mini USB. And I have a Mini to Micro USB adaptor. It's small enough to not be a bother.
If you aren't Sony or Apple, please make your device charge by Micro USB so I don't have to carry yet another charger. It's okay if it charges slower than a second dedicated power source, but just make it charge through Micro USB.
Android tablet manufacturers I am looking at you.
