They should’ve included the ability to charge multiple phones at once plus data sync capability by whatever cost and raised the price to $40 and they’d still have people buying it, more actually because of the improve usefulness factor. Now only geeks would buy it just because it’s cool until the novelty wears off. I have no doubt dollar stores will carry this item in the future.

And you do have to include the iPhone. Even if it’s not pertinent to the standard of phone chargers or their ports. But, the standard does seem to be taking forever to be adopted here. It’s much like the 3.5mm headphone jack, and how everyone wants it, but it seems phone manufacturers are lagging in their delivery. It’ll be interesting to see companies like Sony Ericsson get on board the standard, as they’re notorious for their proprietary connectors. (Not counting the upcoming Rachael.)

Well there actually is a standard, but of course it is the US over here that has taken their time in agreeing to use it as well.

In Europe they are all going the way of the mini-usb. (Which I think unofficially is happening all over unless you include the iphone). Within the year it is pretty safe to assume that your typical usb-to-mini-usb cable will be your all in one device for charging and syncing your phones.
