Default Mini USB port- what is it?

the small USB port that tha supplied data cables plugs into- can someone tell me what that plug is. Its not mini-usb (at least I dont think it is) and I cant for the life of me figure out what it is (so i can buy a spare cable for the office).
Any help would be muhs appreciated.

Yeah but the connector/ plug from the Gtab isn't on that site. I just want to buy a spare cable but cannot for the life of me find one.

It is just a standard mini usb cable. Look here. Used with lots of cameras, phones, everything.

Here is one example.

Its just a mini B cable trust me i have one right here in front of me make sure you don't have a Micro b that one is much smaller then the gtabs port and will not work. if in further confusion post a pic of the connector you have and we can tell you what the plug is.
