The Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP) group, whose members include Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, LG, and Nokia, have decided that Micro USB will be the new charging/data standard for new phones. This is good news on several counts.

• Everyone will have the same power connector
• Phones will be thinner, thanks to the new, thinner connector
• Phones will be more environmentally friendly

I suppose this will all be great, until USB 3.0 is more widely adopted
