So maybe Apple will do that right thing and make Lightning an open standard so we can all switch to it and get along and buy $3 Monoprice charging cables? Yeah... nuts. I really do like the idea of a reversible USB cable.

Doesn't the EU mandate micro-USB? I wonder how Apple gets around that, unless that was just an urban legend. It just made sense that phone OEMs wouldn't have switched away from their profitable "You need a new car charger for every new phone" scheme unless forced to.
