Europe moves to develop standard mobile phone chargers- by Paul Meller
Wouldn't it be nice if all of our mobile gadgets connected to one universal charger? According to the vice president of the European Commission, Gunter Verheugen, it's not only possible, it's already on the drawing board. Steps are being taken to standardize mobile-phone chargers, though a universal charger for all mobile devices will take longer. The commission claims some of the credit for the agreement reached with mobile phone makers, which earlier this year said they would pursue a universal charger for all phones. Verheugen welcomed the agreement, which was signed by 10 phone makers, including the biggest names in the industry that account for more than 90% of all European mobile phone sales.
