The microUSB is winning its ways into becoming the default port for lots of mobile phone companies, letting smaller companies ask themselves if they should also adapt to the trends. Two years ago the GSMA announced to have managed to persuade a large group of mobile phone producers to move to microUSBs by 2012.

The microUSB is becoming the main port for mobile producers such as Nokia, Apple, RIM, LG, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Alcatel - is Alcatel even on the market anymore? Didn't heard anything from their company lately.

Sure, now everybody will ask if the next generation iPhone will feature a microUSB too, but I seriously doubt. The USB port is not proprietary for Apple and it might take a longer time until we will really see it happening.
