Mobile phone makers agree to create standard charger

Mobile phone makers agree to create standard charger

"The target is that the majority of mobile phones shipped by 2012 will support this new interface," added O'Hara.

Manufacturers had been under pressure from the European Commission to produce a standardised charger.

Introducing a one-size-fits-all charger might help the firms to cut costs since new handsets would no longer necessarily need to be sold with a charger in the future.

But the manufacturers will lose the revenues they currently make from replacements of lost or broken chargers.
