One thing I always thought was weird about the photo frames was you gotta plug them in.
If you combined the 2 technologies, you could simply set your frame down on a wireless charge pad and most of the time it stays charged and feeds through the pad. But Grandma comes over and goes to pick it up, and shes not tethered to the end table to look at pictures of the kids.

I prolly just made someone else alot of money by saying that out loud, but whatever, lets see the wireless power products!

PS: Make the pad include a small weight sensor so it completely shuts down and stops wheezing my juice when its not really needed.]]>Dec 19th 2008 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/Dec 19th 2008 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/Dec 19th 2008 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/Dec 20th 2008 5:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/Dec 19th 2008 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/http://notalwaysright.com/whos-got-the-power-now/933]]>Dec 19th 2008 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/Dec 19th 2008 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/wireless-power-consortium-to-create-universal-wireless-charging/

Oh, and did you even really get that movie at all?

THANK YOU. Hurry up and get this out the door.

I plug in my iPhone at night. I put my WiiMotes on a charging stand when i'm not playing. i replace batteries in my remote controls about once every year or two (if that).

Unless it's a medium-range solution with 100% efficiency, i'm really not interested. I'm not THAT wire-phobic, for goodness sake.

You lose a lot of efficiency (you can't get much better than transformers, wich have each coil right next to the other one, and they only deliver half the power. Waste the other half), and, honestly, why do we need this?

Plugging in a single wire too much for you?

I'm all for new tech, but some things are just... Well, bad ideas. Like the Segway. Or the laser coffee maker.
