Am I the only one who is sick of getting a new power pack with everything I buy? Not only does the voltage differ, so does the size and shape of the plug and even when identical the tip may be positive or negative!
This is not only idiotic but its not very good for the environment. I have many unwanted adapters in my shed and I'm sure they are breeding...
I think we can start by making it illegal for a product to include a bundled adapter and let market forces loose... This would force vendors to get together and quickly standardise voltages, tips etc to a very small number of variations and allow you to reuse your old phone adapter with your new phone. Hopefully you'd rarely if ever need to buy one in any case.
And why not have adapters with many tips or even imbed them in the mains power points?
