How nice it would be if we can use the same charger for all cell phones.Like borrowing your colleagues samsung charger to charge your nokia mobile when you forget to take yours.How nice will that be.The common reasons that manufacturers sight is that the other manufacturer uses inferior material.This rift between the mobile phone companies has never allowed the dream of an universal charger to be realised.
This elusive dream of universal charger might mostly become reality in 2010.Thanks to Mr.Rob Conway C.E.O of GSM associations this dream can become a reality.He announced it at this year’s Mobile world congress that the major manufacturers like nokia,samsung,sony ericsson,vodafone have all agreed to come together in the development of the universal charger.When the major players accept this the other minor players would have to heed to their dominance.
The GSMA has hinted that this universal charger might be developed on the microUSB technology but nothing has been finalised yet.
There are two possible advantages that could result from a universal charger.
1.You can borrow anyone’s charger to charge your phone.
2.There will be more reuse of products.
Let’s wait and see whether this technology succeeds.The next thing i would love to see will be a charger that will charge my ipod as well as my cell phone.
