An update on the Mini vs Micro USB post from before.

Mom and Dad got a new phone that is apparently equipped with MicroUSB ports. The cables they got with them look a lot sturdier than the ones that used to break off at work, which is great to hear. On the other hand, their GPS has MiniUSB ports. They used my cell phone charger to charge it.

All of this confirms my initial point that having two standards is okay. Dad got his MiniUSB cables for a dollar a piece on eBay, which is just outstanding. And so long as these cables work with a number of devices, it’s money well spent. Heck, at a dollar, it’s worth it anyway. Same goes for Micro. It’s all working itself out.
