I wonder if they had just stuck with the mini USB...

Its main disadvantage is that it is asymmetric and easy to damage
when being forced in the wrong way by technoklutzes.

? Micro is assymetric and easier to try to force the wrong way. Mini has
wopping (relatively) big lugs on one side.

It would have been much nicer if someone just said "lets make the bloody
thing reversible and put matching contacts on both sides - spread the
amps too".
