Thank god someone else recognizes this!  In this age of "green" when we all all so damn concerned about power waste that we are supposed to unplug our wall warts when they are not in use it is more than a little annoying to me, as an engineer, to see so much attention drawn to inductive charging.  It is HORRIFICALLY INEFFICIENT!  If they has put a couple of little metal contact studs on it (like most cordless phones) the thing would probably be 10-50x more efficient (depending on design).<br><br>Inductive charging is not a good idea, kids.  Cool as hell, but really wasteful.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Don]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 12th 2009 12:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sanyo releases new, Motion Plus-approved, contact-free Eneloop Wiimote charger]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/sanyo-releases-new-motion-plus-approved-contact-free-eneloop-w/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/sanyo-releases-new-motion-plus-approved-contact-free-eneloop-w/</guid><description><![CDATA[Protection?
