News: Wireless Charging Available Soon

We really hate wires. Whether it is for power, audio or even video, our ideal tech setup would do away with these in one way or another. Although not completely doing away with wires, it appears the wireless gadget charging will soon be a reality.

Using inductive charging, similar to Candela electric lights, these forthcoming wireless chargers requires a single mat plugged into the wall and devices that contain the appropriate components. Simply drop your gadgets onto the mat, which could easily be hidden in a box or drawer, and let them charge out of sight. No unsightly wires to clutter your space. Look for this to become available in early july here

They need to make a bigger one, but I'm getting this anyways! I read that Apple is making their version of this too, so I can't wait to see this technology take off!

From what I understand of this technology, energy is transmitted via long waves, which are harmless to organic tissue. On the other hand, the short waves used for cell phone communication is much much more harmful, and you're holding that next to your head!

Something tells me these things won't be cheap.

Besides long waves, they will be very short range. Meaning unless you're using this thing as a pillow, I think you'll be fine.

If it's plugged in all the time, is it using electricity all the time?
