I disagree with all the points of the article you linked. I guess most android users with a micro usb port can disagree just the same. I charge at 2A and it's not burning. Yes you read right. Many modify their chargers to charge at 2A. Also most computers charge them at 0.5A as it's the standard (yes, some charge at 1A). There no function micro USB cannot do due to less pins, because its 100% digital. But then, those…
For USB3 support on Micro USB, you need an extra connector off to the side for the extra pins, so it's not a plug and play, reuse all your cables panacea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Connector_USB_3_IMGP6033_w...
No, I can't just use an adapter - I have a head unit in my car that gives me some fantastic functionality, integration with the GPS, Pandora, iPod, iTunes. I thought "Great, I can upgrade, use the adapter..." - sorry, no can do. The adapter doesn't support "iPod Out" which means no remote control of devices.
Same for my bedside alarm clock, and it having the ability to wake me with my playlist, or control tracks from the console, no more 'remote control' for it.
So so so frustrated.
