Just seen the announcement about this type of cable.
I had the idea in my head that the 'universal solution' was going to be a standard USB to micro USB. Obviously I'm out of date with yet another variant coming at us.
Can someone with much more knowledge kindly explain?

I think you're confusing USB Types ?
Type A is the adapter you use @ your PC/laptop; Type B is the plethora of variants on the other end of that cable for devices.
Type C will replace the both Type As and Type Bs with a single adapter - well probably apart from Apple stuff as they are always putting on a different plug ! There'll be Type A-C cables as well ... just to confuse matters ::) Oh, and adapters for the Type B variants.
Seems to be reversible, able to handle power in either direction as well as handle video ! Runs data @ 10Gbps too ... Will it catch on ? That's a different question ...
