You are referring to the wrong definition of "standard". The article is referring to a "technical standard", not an "industry standard".

edit: unless you just mean that the approval process for the standard will take time.



That's what I meant. Unless it gets approved as a standard it's not going to be widespread.


Hmmm, when did that ever stop Apple before? 3.5" floppies and FireWire come to mind. :) At this point though, if Apple uses it, it is a standard. Touch screen smarphones come to mind! :)
