Just in Time for the New Year, it is Out With the Mini and In With the Micro.
I am the kind of person who does not do well with a lot of significant changes. And lately, there have been a lot of them. Windows Mobile 2003 SE has become Windows Mobile 5. Windows XP has become Windows Vista. Now, I hear that my trusted USB cable will also be changing.
Both Pocket PC Thoughts and Solsie .com reported that the USB Implementers Forum, Inc. (USB-IF) announced the completion of the Micro-USB specification, a new connector technology that will replace many of the Mini-series plugs and receptacles currently used in portable products. Read on to find out how these new USB connectors will improve your mobile life.
This USB-IF connector specification was developed to support the growing miniaturization trend for portable devices, as well as the continued adoption of USB in mobile phones
The Micro-USB specification supports the USB On-The-Go (OTG) supplement, which was created in response to the growing need for portable devices to communicate directly with each other when a PC is not available. Micro-series definitions include: Micro-B receptacles for standard devices, Micro-AB receptacles for OTG devices, Micro-A and Micro-B plugs, and standard cables. The Micro-series are unique in that they feature a stainless steel shell, which yields more than 10,000 insertion cycles for longer life and higher durability, and passive latching mechanism for higher extraction forces.
According to the USB-IF, the Micro-series connectors will continue to maintain the ease-of-use and speed of the USB technology. For more, see the USB-IF Press Release]
