European cell phone companies agree to start using universal mobile charger including Apple

Most of the major cell phone companies based in Europe have signed an agreement that requires them to employ a universal cell phone charger for all of their models. Newly released models will all use the same port in order to charge, the micro USB. This transition is supposed to start as quickly as next year.
Manufacturers that have currently signed the agreement, include Motorola, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Apple and RIM. Apple was a surprise addition to the agreement since everyone knows that Apple utilizes a dock connector. The agreement is not legally binding, but it is expected that most companies will cooperate in order to offer universal charging capabilities in Europe.
Currently, there are dozens of mobile phone charger types available for European cell phones, which makes this agreement all the more impressive. Unfortunately, the United States has no such deal in the works, which probably means we’ll be stuck with different charger types for years to come.
