Windows Phone Thoughts: South Korean Carriers To Standardize Connectors?

"Data cables and earphones, which differ from one handset manufacturer to another, are going to be standardized in South Korea. South Korea's three mobile communication service providers: SK Telecom, KTF and LG Telecom agreed on the external interface of cellular phones and signed a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding). Accordingly, reuse of cellular phone accessories such as earphone/microphones and data cables will be possible. Consumers who change handset models will not have to buy new accessories."

Three words: about freakin' time someone does this. I have no clue if this will cover all phones, including Pocket PC phones, and whether it'll have any effect over here; that is, this standardization is unlikely to extend to our carriers, but could Korea-exported WM devices use these standard connectors? In any case, I can't tell you how many different cables, AC adapters, headsets, etc. I have in the closet for all the Windows Mobile devices and "dumb" cellphones I've owned over the years.
