Is there a reason (other than design by committee) that USB is so complicated? You need to have the right kinds of connectors, cables, and device support. The speeds you get vary for any number of reasons. Why didn't someone just say "all the cables are fast and charge good and if you want slow or bad, use old USB"? It seems we've found the worst possible situation, where consumers don't understand what they need or can use or why, and instead of making it easier, we get the second version of the fourth version which has multiple versions that all do different things under different circumstances.
