[/img]It's been more than a year since Nokia, Apple, RIM, Motorola and
just about every other major cellphone manufacturer agreed on a micro-
USB cellphone charger standard for Europe, but the two key European
standards bodies have just now finally followed up on their end of the
bargain. CEN-CENELEC and ETSI have today published harmonized
standards for a universal cellphone charger based on micro-USB, which
has now put the ball back in the manufacturers' court to actually
produce phones that rely on the newly standardized chargers. According
to the European Commission, the first of those are expect to arrive
sometime "in the first months of 2011," and it expects the chargers to
be "predominant" within two years. Head on past the break for the
official announcement.
