What kind of madness is this? I mean how will companies cope.
When I buy an item from Sony for instance, I buy it in the sure knowledge that the memory sticks and power charges will be totally bespoke, and absolutely useless for any other device I might have.
Heck I damaged the power lead for my £80 Walkman recently, and happily paid out £30 for a new power lead, as I'd not be able to get any other lead from any other company for this.
Surely they're missing a trick here?
