Coming soon – Universal charger for all renowned cell phone brands
As dozens of new handsets are launched every day, people are tempted to swap them for their not-so-outdated models. Though discarded handsets lead to a threatening rise to e-waste heaps, their complementing chargers add on to the same. As every phone comes with a charger that can only connect to itself. However cell phone giants are planning to come together to put an end to this menace by offering a universal charger that fits any kind of handset. Apple, Nokia and Sony Ericsson along with Motorola, LG, NEC, Samsung, Texas Instruments, Qualcomm and the BlackBerry maker have given their nod to this agenda. Studies state that there are more than 30 different chargers in circulation in member states of the European Union, which estimates that 51,000 are lying unused. Such a move will not only help our environment but also reduce the clutter in our drawers.
