This is creating a new proprietary connetor and then trying to standardize it. IT STILL means ONE more set of cables to buy and one more stinking cable connector to carry around with me. Why can they not just use the standard USB Mini A (like the razor or blackberry without the funky wiring) that I already have a zillion of and already have to carry with me for all my USB gadgets. Is that so damned hard? This is not using a standardized connetor. This is creating a new proprietary connetor and then trying to standardize it.

So whether or not they sign on to this initiative, they're ahead of the pack.
