Wireless charging - it’s coming!!
I saw this quite a while ago but it just never appeared although I was pretty sure it would happen … someday. Well Mike Elgan had a post today on The Raw Feed that ultimately led me to an article he wrote on ComputerWorld. The sum and substance is that it is coming! And it’s coming July 9th! Hooray!!
Take a moment and read Mike’s article on Wireless charging: Here at last … I think you will enjoy it and possibly get one in July. In part, Mike said:
Imagine if your smart phone was as advanced as your toothbrush — at least in the charging department. That would be cooler than your peppermint toothpaste.
If you’ve got one of those high-end vibrating toothbrushes, or any of several waterproof electric shavers, then you already own a device capable of a neat trick called wireless charging.
When you put that toothbrush in its charging cradle, you’ll notice that no metal contacts are exposed for the electricity to charge the batteries. The toothbrush charges magically, right through the plastic.
Don’t look now, but that very same technology is coming soon to your cell phone, your iPod — even your laptop. 2007 is the year that truly mainstream wirelessly charging products finally go on sale.

I wonder - how efficient is this technology as far as electricity use? At this point is convenience really worth it if it is worse, given the high costs that we are bearing for our energy use?
great news! I really dislike (hate is such a strong word, lol) my phone charger…. I would definitely see wireless charging as a plus!!
also, my kids are TERRIBLE about charging their phones…. so this would be a necessity for them!
