What is the disadvantages of the Mini-B cable, cause if you were using that cable instead of the normal Type A, i would have room for more than just 2 USB recepters in my computer -.-

Mini-B is usually used for external card readers and such. You will most definitely NOT find a Mini-B plug on any computer.

Because the industry didn't see it's necessary to adopt another connector since USB-A is already widely used.

I think they're used for printers as well, to connect to your computer.

I use Mini-B USB for my Camera, PSP and Mobile.
But my PC doesn't have a Mini-B Port.
So I use this.

Different sizes for different things. A is usually for a printer, while the smaller ones are for cameras and cellphones.
