    Like when MicroUSB came out, I think charging was pretty standard.

    not really, in 2007, USB wasn’t even the main way to charge phones. most manufactures were using their proprietary connectors. I recall Nokia was using their barrel plug well until they sold to MS.

      I don’t mean micro was the standard way to charge, I mean that charging things was common. People wanted to charge things in 2007. And micro could be used to charge. Charging was a feature of micro.

      We’re really not talking the same language, I don’t know where the confusion is, so I think I’m gonna bow out.
