Micro-USB To Become Standard For Mobiles, According To OMTP

October 2, 2007

The Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP) has now recommended that mobile phones use the micro-USB standard for connections to peripherals and for charging mobile devices. This gives a head start to a few companies that are already using the standard - the Motorola Razr2 v9m comes to mind.

The micro-USB offers a cable that has a pretty small connection, much smaller than mini-USB. This will allow for phone manufacturers to keep the port very small while creating a universal standard that will offer better support for peripherals and accessories.

There is no word as to when or even if manufacturers will take the OMTP’s advice. One thing is certain, Motorola is already ahead of the game.
