There’s nothing worse than your cell phone running out of juice and not having the charging device with you. Many mobile phones have chargers that can only be used to charge a brand or a line of mobile phones and aren’t compatible with other phones.

That will soon be a thing of the past. Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and LG have agreed on a universal standard for chargers - a micro USB. A Micro USB can be used to charge from an outlet, charge from a PC and sync with a PC.

Now getting a charge will be that much easier - thanks to one device that fits all!
