It would be nice going to someones house and asking if you could charge up your phone or not worrying about lost chargers. That is true i also have a pile of useless chargers all around my house. Hopefully when the make phones and get ready to sell in the U.S they will bring the usb charging here.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 22nd 2006 6:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/22/chinese-government-demands-all-handsets-be-rechargeable-via-usb/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/22/chinese-government-demands-all-handsets-be-rechargeable-via-usb/</guid><description><![CDATA[Motorola RAZR are USB charging capable and some of the bluetooth headsets.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nhathan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 22nd 2006 9:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/22/chinese-government-demands-all-handsets-be-rechargeable-via-usb/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/22/chinese-government-demands-all-handsets-be-rechargeable-via-usb/</guid><description><![CDATA[great idea by the govt in China. every country should follow suit and erase the hassle of multiple chargers:(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[j]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 22nd 2006 10:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/22/chinese-government-demands-all-handsets-be-rechargeable-via-usb/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/22/chinese-government-demands-all-handsets-be-rechargeable-via-usb/</guid><description><![CDATA[leave it to a socialist government to impose a rule like this. obviously china is not ready for prime-time capitalism... manufacturers NEED to make 10000 different chargers]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bessie31]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2006 8:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/22/chinese-government-demands-all-handsets-be-rechargeable-via-usb/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/22/chinese-government-demands-all-handsets-be-rechargeable-via-usb/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thank you #6.

Sometimes government is required to step in and take action. Particularly in cases of Market failure. It is in everyones interest to standardise power supplies. Including the manufacturers  that increasingly have to operate on smaller margins. Why government institution or engineering standards organisations e.g. IEEE, ISO, have not come together sooner to agree a standards for supplying power to the proliferation of portable devices is a mystery to me. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ukb]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 5th 2007 9:52AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
