This is functionally no different from a regular USB connector, but is a lot smaller in size. Mini USB connectors are commonly used for smaller devices such as portable storage devices, MP3 players, cameras, etc. Micro USB is still smaller than the mini USB and is used for much smaller devices and gadgets such as MP3 players, mobile phones/PDAs which have no space even for mini USB.
