Nope you'll still need to plug them in if they draw power from the USB connection. Truly wireless power is still a dream (along with anti-gravity, faster than light travel, and the extinction of fan boys). *sigh*
Whoa calm down there... Wireless power is far outside the realm of anti-gravity and what not. As mentioned earlier, Tesla did it. Wireless power was around before electricity was even mainstream. Also microwaves and any other EM can transmit electricity. Efficiency is just the problem currently, and lack of anyone trying to make it more efficient until recently.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
So, does this mean that devices that are USB powered can be powered wirelessly? If so, awesome. If not, I feel like an idiot.
I just want wireless power so bad. I'm so tired of wires.

Wireless power is not a dream, it has been demonstrated many times even before you were born.
Practical wireless power, on the otherhand, is about as real as the extinction of fan boys... unfortunately ;)
lol no way how could a device power itself wirelessly while not loosing power; but gain power
mr tesla will do that, and find a dupe bug in the universe, thus making crap loads of top hats

What in the hell does that mean? lol :)
