It seems like they could have achieved this with any standard micro-USB cable, up to and including 1.8 amps. Now that we're starting to see the emergence of devices with high powered USB ports, it sure is a bummer to have to use (yet another) proprietary cable.

I'm afraid my comment above was wrong. Greenmonkey had it right, it would seem to be a fairly intelligent cable design based on the limitations.
