EU to set mobile phone charger standard

The drive towards the harmonisation of chargers in the EU took a major step forward this week when the industry submitted a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to the Commission, committing to provide chargers compatible with a Micro-USB connector. The Commission said the first generation of new inter-chargeable mobile phones will reach the EU market from 2010 onwards. The MoU was signed by Apple, LG, Motorola, NEC, Nokia, Qualcomm, Research in Motion, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Texas Instruments.
