…It’s not just a charger; it’s part of the experience. People who passed this don’t understand experience design. It will limit innovation.

@aral I'm sorry, but I don't see what the problem is? all phones will have micro USB + your innovative one; be it wireless, magnetic or else -
@strayobject What if you don't want to destroy the beauty of your design with the crap that is micro USB? -
@aral beauty of the design and crappyness of USB are both subjective. the fact you can charge all devices with one charger is the experience -
@strayobject As long as you manage to plug the darn thing in the right way up. That’s also the experience.

@sdsolle So just to clarify: this doesn't mandate USB on phone, just the charger end? That I'm cool with :)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral true, but it won't be a problem with new micro USB. If Apple was not a dick with licencing their connectors it may have been standard. -
@strayobject Indeed, but I don’t necessarily want to use Apple’s either. Anyway, moot point. It’s been passed.

@aral What’s wrong with USB? It’s ubiquitous. -
@martinbean Usability. I hate hate that you can only plug it in one way and have to try at least three times to get it right :) -
@aral Oh. So what common format would you suggest instead?
