When you are at the airport or elsewhere and there are a dozen people in line waiting to charge their cell phones on the one wall outlet there is, you must find yourself wishing there were some kind of a simple wireless universal cell phone charger solution out there. While none exists to help solve your sticky airport situation above, the simple and wire-free part is starting to turn a reality. The product is the Energizer Inductive Charger.
This cell phone charger is a plug-in charging surface. If you have a Blackberry or an iPhone, you merely place it on the charging surface, and it charges your phone right up. You might have read about the whole inductive revolution a while ago; some of those reports actually suggested that power could travel wirelessly right across a room or a home. That's not exactly what's going on here though; this device only allows you to keep from tethering your phone right to a charging wire. The device costs about $90. And you need to buy a charging sleeve for each device that you try to charge.
The sleeve goes over your smart phone, kind of like a scratch-resistant case. These sleeves are designed in keeping with the Wireless Power Consortium's Qi charging standard doesn't that sound like the Chi energy those acupuncturists talk about). Once a phone has the sleeve on and is placed on the charging surface, it will charge right up. Still, this is an idea that hasn't really found acceptance among the consuming public. One reason for this could be that Qi isn't the only wireless charging standard out there. People to worry about investing in something that could end up being the next HD DVD. Still, if the device sold by Energizer is any indication, the usefulness these products offer could be limited. For instance, it only puts out 5 W of power. That means you could charge GPS devices, digital cameras, and so on; iPads on the other hand would be out of the question, because they use 10 Watts of power.
The sleeves that they sell for your device though need to be specifically made for your device. Whatever your device is, if they haven't made a specific one for it, you'll be out of luck. And they don't have that many sleeves on the shelves yet either. Still, if you happen to like the feeling that you can just toss your phone on a charging surface and forget about it, this could really be great tech item to possess.
