Charge your cell phone and MP3 player without wires
9 Comments By Eran Abramson on October 11th, 2007 in Cool New Gadgets
Isn’t it weird that our wireless electronics depend on wires for power and charging? On one side we are free to roam around, on the other we are obligated to return and plug in to recharge. How great would it be to cut the cord?
WildCharge has made this possible for the Motorola RAZR and will soon add the iPod Nano, RIM Blackberry and more.
This technology includes a charging pad and product adapter. The charging pad is plugged in and provides the power, while an adapter attaches (or replaces) the back cover of the product. These adapters are built with ridges that absorb power from the ridges built in the pad. Now, anytime you would like to charge your item, simply place it (in any orientation or spot) on the pad, and it charges with no more time than if it was plugged in directly. The pad has an automatic shutoff in case incompatible products, keys, or other items are placed on it.
It would be great when more of our products are enabled with this technology. Just imagine that we can place our cell phones, PDA, PSP, and more on one pad to charge them all. Finally, no more fumbling with different wires and cords.
WildCharge web store is opening October 12th with the first adapter for the Motorola RAZR. Which product do you think they should do next?

This is great. It would be nice if they could make it universal. Maybe that will be the case way down the road?

Hi Neece,
Their plan is to create adapters to many different kind of electronics and each works with the same charging pad. Eventually you will be able to come home and simply place all your rechargeable electronics, such as: cell, pda, mp3 player, remote, etc. on one single pad.

It’s inventions and technological advancements like these that make me such of a fan of technology and electronics, and I love reading about them. Thanks for posting about this cool new product. As you said, I can’t wait until we can charge all of our electronics this way!
