Countdown to the WildCharge Wireless Charger
Slated for official launch on July 7th 2007, we’re now less than a month away from seeing the release of the WildCharge Wireless Charging system.
WildCharge calls it a “wire-free electric power revolution” and I couldn’t agree more. Granted, the technology is nothing new but we’ve been waiting for years to see it applied to our common gizmos and gadgets. If you don’t know what it is, the WildCharge Wireless Charger is a thin pad that uses electromagnetic induction to charge devices without the need for a cord or cable of any kind connecting them. Simply lay a device fitted with a charging adapter (future devices will be built compatible with this technology) on top of the pad and viola - you’re charging! Laptops, cameras, mobile phones… It’ll charge them all, and at the same time no less.
This is one technology that I am very excited to see grow over the coming years. It has taken a LONG time to finally come to market in this form and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

@Rita
You're right about using devices as they charge (at least in the early stages of this application of electromagnetic induction) but think about this:
<ul>
<li>You walk into a bar and place your mobile on the bar as you sit down - it's charging!</li>
<li>You go to a restaurant and place you mobile on the table beside your plate - it's charging!</li>
<li>You place your mobile on a small square area in your car/on a plane/on a train/in an airport/etc - it's charging!</li>
</ul>
These are just a few examples of where this technology will be going...
Also forgot to mention, on 7/7/2007 when it is first released, the Wireless Charger will be available is several different sizes. :)

The future is very bright for this technology but like anything else, it has its ups and downs...
The positive: We will be able to charge anything anywhere - wirelessly!
The negative: We will all become sterile from all of the electromagnetic fields!

Alkaline... Zinc-Carbon... Lithium-Ion... Atomic-Nuclear!??!!?
Oh, and if it is proven that this technology causes cancer then I am #$%^&* cause the only electronic that I put closer to my mouth than my cell has had this technology for years... my Sonicare Toothbrush!

As far as batteries go, I actually have been reading some interesting stuff recently. For example, about a year ago I read about a new technology that MIT was developing. It uses virus cells to build much smaller and much more powerful batteries. Pretty interesting!
