How is that proprietary? MicroUSB is the new standard. Last I checked, my Seagate portable HDD, Nook Color, PRS-350, HP TouchPad, LG Thrive, and heck, even my parents' feature phones (Samsung & LG) all use MicroUSB.

The PSP Go would've been a better, more recent example with which I'm familiar. Don't get me wrong, I am a Sony fan with a PSP, Playstation 2, and Playstation 3. I just don't want to get burned like other people who were early adopters of the PSP Go. |

My 650 and my digital camera both use have micro-USB. I bought three 6 foot cables (including shipping) for just under $5

Monoprice is where I go for all my cables, too. Cannot beat their pricing especially when you see how much companies like Monster are charging.

I compared one of the cables from Monoprice to the cable that came with the 650 and I have to say that the cable from Monoprice looks more solid.

Yeah. Just use PayPal or Google Checkout for payment. There was an issue a while back where users' credit card info have been stolen. Can't remember what the final investigation showed.

Micro USB for charging has been an extremely important upgrade for manufacturers, because mini USB was too robust and just didn't snap off often enough.

![]() ... still I guess you helped spawn numerous posts talking about all their other devices using a non-proprietary connection like microUSB. The Tablet P looks to use a more common coaxial power connector from what I can tell (yellow socket next to power button); ![]() |

It looks like a sony ericsson connector. Not too hard to get cheap.
