I don't know about Memory stick, i've never used one but Minidisc and betamax were a better design than the things they were competing against but they didn't catch on or where quickly superseded by newer generation technology.
This dock connector is a better design than microUSB and the existing dock connector. As to ETSI, MicroUSB is pretty flimsy, why not have a better design?
- ZeroGravitas 14y agoI've heard that the MicroUSB connector was designed to be flimsy so that if anything wore out it would be the cheap replaceable cable rather than the expensive device. From this blog article it would appear this new design does this backwards: "The solid parts are stronger because they’re solid. The flexible parts are weaker because they can move. Because the flexible parts are weaker, you want to make sure they are recessed so they can be protected."
