I have to agree totally. You just need to go out and buy yourself a new mobile phone, they all have their own particular electrical adapters instead of universal ones which fits them all, the end result being that a few short years down the line we all have umpteen different adapters in a drawer taking up space.

Headphones with the 3.5mm jack are great because they have always fitted most machines - so why change?

Oh, great! Another **bleep** dongle to buy, attach and detach and eventually lose.

"Who wouldn't want a dozen dongles?"
