On wikipedia I can count at least 6 different types of connectors for different voltages/current, sounds like a deal breaker to me. I'd rather have devices adapt Power over ethernet which requires just one cable and gives many more opportunities for networked future of devices. in fact http://www.commercialintegrator.com/guide/product/details/poe_to_usb_chargers_it_chrg_p2u_it_wpchrg_p2u http://www.commercialintegrator.com/guide/product/details/po... http://www.creativeplanetnetwork.com/the_wire/2012/06/14/fsr-powers-up-for-infocomm-2012-with-new-poeusb-charger-for-ipad/ http://www.creativeplanetnetwork.com/the_wire/2012/06/14/fsr... So I think R45 is a better standard to rely on, that it does have option to carry networked data and intelligently carry voltage to charge usb powered devices. you can already get RJ45 hubs on the cheap too, ones with 8 ports and such.
