If you’ve got a device like a Motorola RAZR with it’s funny looking USB connector, then you have a USB On-the-Go (OTG) device. Those little connectors have made things handy for sure (well, except Motorola’s use of it since it won’t charge the RAZR with any OTG cable since it’s an “unauthorized” charger) and now the USB Implementers Forum has decided, like SD cards, to make things smaller. Today it has announced at the Intel Developer Forum Spring 2007 that the micro-cable is coming!
“The USB-IF continues to optimize its suite of specifications to meet the evolving requirements of the industry,” said Jeff Ravencraft, USB-IF President. “Our move from the Mini-series cable connectors to the Micro-series reflects our support of the industry’s need for smaller form factor devices.”
So prepare for getting even more cables and connectors to keep your newest electronics connected and charged. Mmm, more stuff for the junk drawer!
