Even if I don't have one myself, I think this might be a welcome goodie for all you smartphone/tablet owners!

I believe that some micro-USB cables have a built-in resistor that's typically used to identify/control charging rates or signify a special data connection. A general-purpose cable such as this one may not provide the same functionality as a factory cable.

Hey that's pretty neat, I do like how nice that cable is built.
