Micro-USB to be the standard phone charging port of Europe
Chances are that the European market will see a dock connector to micro-USB port dongle before Apple gives up on the aging proprietary connector and goes micro-USB exclusive. After all, there are thousands of Dock Connector-compatible accessories that come from royalty-paying vendors and Apple needs to protect its income sources.
Hopefully all these companies will come together yet again in the name of consumers and sign a similar agreement here in the States. We want a standard charging port too. Right? Right.
