    P.S.

    I didn't know it was the job of the EU or any government to create greater potential for Qualcomm.

  • The EU Stabs Apple in the Back [View article]
    "The EU is now mandating that all cell phones be compatible with 3rd-party MicroUSB chargers by January 1, 2012."

    This will not affect Apple much. Apples current charger has a USB connector to which the cable connect. That is the cable is not part of the connector. So all they have to do is to replace the USB connector on the charger with MicroUSB, and supply the appropriate cable.

    This has nothing to do with the 30-pin connector. EU's concern is that people over the years end up with a multitude of chargers for various devices which they don't know what to do with. That is very wasteful, so I applaud what EU is trying to do here.
