look for manufacturers to add the charging components inside the devices in the next few years]]>Aug 21st 2009 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/Aug 21st 2009 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/
So instead of just plugging in one wire...

I hate to
1) plug in the charging plate
2) strap each device to a charging clip AND plug it into the device, voiding my warranty by using non OEM accessories
3) place the device on the pad

Nice way to add rediculous bulk to the item not to mention probable increasing its charge time.]]>Aug 21st 2009 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/Aug 21st 2009 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/
and i wonder why you'd consider a half inch as "ridiculous bulk"....that's a mystery]]>Aug 21st 2009 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/
*waits for the payoff from this obvious setup*]]>Aug 21st 2009 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/Aug 21st 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/Aug 21st 2009 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/Aug 21st 2009 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/
price would be the deal breaker. if it's cheap enough for extra plugs then it would be nice, but if each clip is worth $30, then forget it.

The only thing here is difference of scale. The engineering problems are relatively minor. The trouble is to induce a charge on the secondary you have to have the primary oscillate. The challenge is that with magnetic media it could trash your HDD. Hence the need for shielding. Given the shielding could be as simple as the case for your pc.

So here's your product to buy. Go buy a wireless charging electric toothbrush.

No offense but that was snarky and don't assume since I'm a commenter on a gadget site that I don't understand the goings on inside the pretty gear that comes in the box.]]>Aug 21st 2009 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/Aug 21st 2009 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/
Thats when it'll take off. These solutions where you plug something bulky and ugly into your phone won't catch on except to neophytes that need the newest thing instead of the best thing.]]>Aug 21st 2009 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/Aug 21st 2009 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/Aug 21st 2009 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/Aug 21st 2009 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/Aug 21st 2009 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/Aug 21st 2009 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/Aug 21st 2009 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/duracell-announces-mygrid-wireless-charger-wildcharge-feels-a-l/

It needs to be a true sleeve, that has the port its using to charge be available to sync.
