I collect old handhelds. Each one having a unique charging and/or sync cable fuckin sucks and I'm so glad that USB is ubiquitous. My current daily driver has mini USB for data, but charges using a unique connector that plugs into a unique cradle that sends power to the device when hooked into the cradle. Without the cradle, ya ain't charging this thing.
