I certainly understand the "one cable" concept, and I agree wholeheartedly, but not only will all devices have to be redesigned so that they all use the same usb-mini connector, they'll also have to be redesigned electronically so they all use the same amount of current for the charging.
Or am I missing something -- do all USB-mini ports which charge share the same current requirements? So that I could charge my Zen mp3 player, which charges through the USB-mini port, using the same charger that I use for my Bluetooth earpiece, which also charges through the USB-mini-port? I've been leery of trying that, knowing that if the current doesn't match the requirement either the charger or the device could be ruined.
