WildCharge: Charge Your Cell Phone Wirelessly through Voodoo
WildCharge has created some nifty technology that allows you to recharge many of your electronic gadgets by simply placing them on this magical mouse pad. After you place your device on the magical pad up to 15 watts of power can flow wirelessly to your device without the need to break out your normal ac adapter or charger.
The Business Founder of WildCharge can explain the magic better than I can:
It might not make that much sense if you only own one device, but if you have many devices and you are sick of having to plug and unplug stuff than this WildCharge Magical Charging System is probably a good fit for you…
However, there is just one caveat to this convenience. If you own a iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry Curve, or Blackberry Pearl then you are able to use this sleek skin that not only protects the phone, but also doubles as the wireless power receiver so you can simply drop you device onto the pad and start charging.
Where it get’s a little more questionable is if you own other types of devices. For other mobile phones they sell a Universal WildCharge Adapter which can plug into a mini-usb charging port, but then you have somewhat unsightly bulge/bulk added to your phone.
If it were me I would probably take this thing off, but if I did then when I wanted to charge again I would have to plug their adapter in again…which if you think about it defeats the whole purpose of having wireless power in the first place.
Either way, the WildCharge wireless charging system is definitely a valiant effort in the right direction. Now if only I could charge my computer wirelessly…
