2011 looks to be the year that the Common Charger will be introduced to the mobile phone market as technical specifications for chargers drawn up by the European Commission have won the backing of 14 phone firms.The EU said many Europeans resented the inconvenience incompatible chargers caused and wanted to be able to use chargers for different smartphones. The response is a design based around micro-USB technology and excitingly, could see the end of proprietary power ports on handsets.
Nokia, Research In Motion, Apple and Samsung are amongst the companies have pledged to make chargers to the common standard, and they are expected to be available early this year.
Currently, the specifications only cover chargers for smartphones because, these are likely to be the most widely used type of phone in Europe within the next two years according to the Commission.
