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!

Summer is in the air – and Christmas is just around the corner.
That means most of us are planning on travelling for Christmas day with the family – or even the yearly family holidays.
So, will you be technically prepared or challenged when travelling this holiday season?
Being technically prepared
Keeping occupied
Buy a new Apple iPhone 3G for keeping you busy for the long trips. Then, on your new iPhone you can listen to music, play games, access Google Maps, book last minute accommodation, keep in contact with your buddies back home.
Keeping charged
Running out of iPhone battery charge just as you’re trying to take the all important snaps of the little ones unwrapping their presents will cause you lots of frustration… Take a back-up power supply for your iPhone or iPhone 3G:
Or if you’d like a “one-power-pack-suits all gadgets” check out the DLO PowerPack. You can use the included DLO PowerBug, auto charger and dock cables on your iPhone, as well as the family’s iPods, mobile phones, MP3s and any other USB charging devices.
Keeping covered
Digital gadgets and sea water don’t mix! You can protect your iPhone by grabbing the Marware Sportsuit Convertible which includes an armband pouch for early morning jogs along the beach. Also in the pack is a removable belt clip for whenever else you’re out and about with your precious iPhone, I mean family…
There are also heaps of other options available in the way of iPhone covers. Something for everyone!
Keeping clean and germ-free
You’d be amazed (and horrified) by how many infectious germs can be passed on by others using our digital gadgets. Wipe off sticky little niece and nephew fingerprints with the multi-use iKlear Cleaning kit.
