3rd party market lock-in is one of the reasons I switched to Android too. I understand Apple is out to make money like everyone else, but skipping micro-usb is (from my perspective) not a product enhancement.

Their delayed support on NFC arguably killed the user adoption for the tech as well, but i digress.

Using open standards would be an Android plus for me too, if micro-usb didn't suck ass compared to Thunderbolt.

Is that a technical term? :)
