Surely having a charging wire in your car and connecting it before a long drive is not that hard? It's the main way my Samsung phone charges, I usually go full blast playing internet radio, running Waze etc. and when I arrive my phone is 100% charged.

I always wondered why there isn't there a charging standard for phone mounts/cradles just like the old cordless phones where placing it in the cradle made two metallic leads connect the charging circuit.

An overly complex and finicky solution, alas not supported by the lower end phones, including mine.

It's amazing how far reaching the effects of Apple's obsession with thin phones are.
