Few months back i read some where that Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP)–a forum for operators which includes leading phone manufacturers –announced that its members had agreed on micro-USB as the future common connector. Micro-USB, which is thinner than the currently ubiquitous mini-USB standard and therefore better suited to the ever-shrinking dimensions of mobile phones and other consumer electronics, was introduced to the world by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) at the start of this year. Like mini-USB, the standard also makes it possible to charge phones from PCs. This really is a good news to have one common standard for all chargers so that you dont have to buy a differnet charger for a different device.

These charging devices and the chargers are known as FMCG on mobiles industry. Recently most of the manufacturer have changes in their charging pins and this have invited even more kinds of products in the industry. From car chargers to travel chargers all these chargers are consumed more and more due to their difference in usage.

These days most of our portable devices can be charged by either plugging into the wall or plugging into your computer via a USB cable. Sure you can buy a separate car charger to power each device through your cigarette lighter, but they're not cheap and you need a different one for each device. So if you are really looking for a car charger i would suggest you to be sure that they are safe as i have heard
