    Why would having standard battery sizes prevent device development?

    The only reason manufacturers have weird sizes now is to lock down consumers into buying new devices prematurely, or to make money from extremely overpriced part replacements.

    The Walkman (the first really significant mobile device) used standard size batteries, so did the first PDAs.

    In fact all portable electronics used to use standard sizes until the mobile phone era.
