Sprint CEO Dan Hesse: microUSB charging to become standard in the US by 2012

This has been a real nuisance of ours, and it seems we are not the only ones who feel that way - Sprint's CEO Dan Hesse has described the problem as "a pet peeve of mine for a very long time" at CTIA 2011, and has announced that by January 2012, all US phones will use microUSB chargers - presumably, the idea behind the proposition is that these chargers should be compatible with all devices on the market.
As things stand at the moment, there is nothing we can do about this issue, but to keep our fingers crossed - who knows, come January 2012, we may have a ubiquity standard for microUSB chargers, so we would need only one, which would be compatible with all our devices.
