I believe the last couple of Kindles are microUSB, and most of the market is standardizing around that, but it would not surprise me at all if Doug's cameras had proprietary connections. Apparently they haven't gotten the memo that nobody wants to carry around a cable that only works with a single device. I really hate that.

For example, I have a set of bluetooth headphones that have a proprietary cable, but what bothers me is that it's just barely different from microUSB, and they really could have gone with the standard instead of doing their own thing. Grr.

I can't admonish you, Doug. I have the following USB devices plugged in:

-Logitech unifying receiver (for keyboard and mouse)
-Logitech C910 webcam
-Blue Snowball microphone (for client calls - I love this thing)
-Fitbit charging station
-External hard drive
-External DVD burner (because my computer case is too far away and I'm lazy)
-Griffin Powermate (volume control and some other fancy stuff)
-My monitor (so I can plug things in temporarily directly to the monitor)
-USB hub (for some of these devices that don't have long USB cables so they can't reach the back of the computer)

It's not as many as you, Doug, but sometimes these USB devices accumulate...
