Misplaced your widget charger lately ?, can't get one readily from a store ?
'you'll have to order one especially from the manufacturer' your told
all because the makers of these products won't co-operate and make a UNIVERSAL SOCKET
in their mobile phones, Blue teeth, GPS, or anything else that requires charging .
I've had 4 different mobiles, 2 different GPS, 3 different IPAQ - portable video players, notebooks and everything else that you can put in your pocket or purse to communicate. But not ONE of these buggers has the same socket for charging as anyone else and if you are lucky enough to have a charger with that exact match, it's a damn
different voltage. It's a conspiracy to enable 3rd party manufacturers to make special adapters to suit the lot and there-by generate a new market... all because the source plant won't manufacture their product so that a cheap adapter will charge it.
There are 56 different sockets on all these products and not one of the models from the SAME manufacturer have the same socket or voltage
Every time Acme phones makes a new MODEL, it has a different size and/or shape charge socket. I have a bloody drawer full of useless chargers because every time I buy ANYTHING portable that needs a charger, nothing I already have fits it !!.
Oh sure, I now have a universal all pin, all voltage charger for everything but I don't want to have to buy a dozen of them so I can
charge up a dozen devices overnight. I'd like the same identical charger that COMES WITH the device to charge any of the devices, not have to fork out EXTRA cash for an all singing all dancing charger. Sh*t, if I had 10 devices and 2 identical chargers, that would suffice.
What happened to 'save the planet from carbon' crap. To add insult to injury, some devices that have been superseded by model, need to be charged
by devices that no longer exist. God I wish I was Ralph Nader in this country.
