Lol

anyways. Yup. Got a pre and the touchstone is EPIC. Got 1 in each car too.
I don't think of it as a peripheral, I tell everyone, you NEED one. In a small way, it will change your life. Like the way you look at other people plugging in their phone.
It's a game changer, a big one. It's up there with the remote control. Think about how long someone will look for a remote control, rather than just go and turn the tv on with the panel.

Soooo; since it took ages for manufacturers, pressured by government bodies, to standardize on the mini-USB charger, I doubt this would gain any traction.]]>Jul 26th 2010 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 26th 2010 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 26th 2010 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/
It's sad really, as this would be so great. But when you have companies like Sony, who promote non-standard ways of doing just about everything, it's doubtful that this will ever be widely adopted. ]]>Jul 26th 2010 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 26th 2010 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/
Glad to hear it's finally moving forward. Imagine never having to change remote batteries?

Yeah, plugging and unplugging my laptop over and over gets pretty troublesome, plus it eventually wears on the connection port (like with audio ports and constant use of headphones. Anything that prevents physical degradation is welcome (unless the solution itself causes physical harm).]]>Jul 26th 2010 3:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 26th 2010 3:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 26th 2010 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 26th 2010 3:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/4:38 or 1:39 what time is it?]]>Jul 26th 2010 3:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 26th 2010 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/
Pre battery life is pretty bad, and I would have likely abandoned it already for that alone if it weren't so darned easy to keep it topped off. It is like living in THE FUTURE... (Ok that last part was sarcasm but the Touchstone really is cool).

Seriously though, the Evo has been hacked to work with the touchstone by gluing in the palm back cover. I hope to be able to do the same with my Epic. ]]>Jul 26th 2010 3:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 26th 2010 3:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 27th 2010 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 26th 2010 3:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 26th 2010 3:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 26th 2010 3:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 26th 2010 4:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/Jul 26th 2010 4:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/qi-wireless-power-standard-finalized-universal-contactless-char/One spot.
