The CTIA announced its intentions to standardize on 3.5″ headphone jacks some time ago. This was great, and also seems to resonate well with device manufacturers and the press.
PhysOrg now reports that the announcement also covers MicroUSB charging:
…
CTIA Wireless Association said it is behind an initiative to make 3.5mm plugs the standard for earphones, headphones and micro-USB connections in mobile devices introduced to the market after January 2012.

Even though I always welcome standardization, I don’t think that this announcement is important for a single reason: the EU has already enforced something similar. This means that phone makers who want to hit Europe need to support MicroUSB – trust me that np manufacturer (except for CDMA) would want to miss out on this market…
