The iPhone charger of the future

Charging into the future

How to charge your iPhone and other gadgets without wires?  Household and/or desktop adornments of course.

Thanks to Gizmodo, who came across this piece of equipment / accessory / adornment (not sure exactly what I want to call it)…

You place your iPhone (or mobile phone or whatever) on it and it charges over the air, no plugging it in, no wires!

It uses internal coils to pick up the charge. Click the image above for more details about how it works.

Now we all like to be able to charge our gadgets easily, but I’d be keen to know more about how much extra (or less?) power it uses, how safe the emissions are etc…

And whilst it means no more wires at home (or on your office desk), what about charging your iPhone when travelling?

Charge on!
