• Holmes108      What?! I though we were already committed to
micro usb. I didn’t realize it was only Europe.      I also
didn’t realize Europe “wimped out” with adapters either….
Disappointing.    • Derek      You know, strictly speaking,
wouldn’t a standardized connector help out the manufacturers as

where they design the new adapter and write in “micro USB” — Go!
