In 2006 we have tried to get a standard for AC/DC chargers and adapter (<15W) off the ground.

Please see an outline of the concept (called 'UniCharge') here: UniCharge --> vision document

About frickin' time! Micro-USBs are coming into more and more usage. Case in point, my Bluetooth headphones and transmitter. Besides, why adopt a chunky, older-generation USB port when they can go for the uber-sleek micro? It is GOOD for business because it adopts the NEW standard, not the older ones.

Of course they couldn't agree upon a pre-existing standard. That's just bad for business.
