How about the MILLIONS of apple USB cables out there by iphone and ipad and ipod users where these same users may buy a samsung device and still be able to use their cables.

I have ~10 apple USB cables. I keep 1 in my backpack, 1 in the car, 1 in the bedroom, I have a 6' long one I bought from deal extreme and several others in various places.

I have an iPad - but I'm open to other devices and I hate it when I cant usethe cables I have.

(I have about 8 dell power adapters for the same reasons)

If you stop buying Apple products all your USB cables will look the same for all devices.

Honestly, I have never bought an apple product.

I am very good about my employers buying me requisite devices for work. I have had the iphone since launch and have gone through 12 of them (in all the various models) as I tend to drop them a lot.

The iPad was a gift.

I have not bought a phone or computer for myself in ~10 years.
