- Micro USB Connectors (Time Magazine)
"The micro USB standard is new on the scene; the first cell phone we've seen that use it is the Motorola RAZR2. The plugs and sockets are smaller than the commonly used mini USB standard, which means that phones can be thinner and smaller. Fewer sockets also means smaller phones; the micro USB connector can be used for power, data and connecting headphones. What a reccomendation like this could mean is that you may not need to buy new chargers, data cables and headsets when you upgrade a cell phone; if the old and the new one both have micro USB ports, your existing chargers, cables and headsets would work on both." 11-08
