    Unless it's cheap, why not just use a standard usb to micro usb with a cheap (as low as hkd9) usb to micro usb adapter

    You don't get it. the USB A side (i.e. the fiddly little bit that goes into your phone) is double sided, so you don't have to fcuk around with getting the right side.

    yep. just like about 95% of the issues on this forum, esp in the technology sections (where I would pretty much guess everything is a first world problem).

    Ohh... The double sided cable doesn't come standard with Android phones? +1 to Apple.

    I thought the new USB type 3 plug and cable on the latest Android phones is double sided like Apple lightning cable. Are you saying that this is an old type 2 cable, that can connect to old phones, double sided?

    basically yes. usb 3 will sure change that, but the thing is it will probably take a few years to be prevalent. this i guess is a stop gap cable.

    OK then yeah this cable is kinda cool and gives us the best feature of USB 3 with our old phones.
