-Wake up.

-Okay, now really wake up.
-Brush teeth
-Put on clothes
-Unplug my iPhone
-Unplug my MacBook
-Tie charger up and put in backpack.
Man, I wish I could cut this routine in half. And no, don't tell me to wake up the first time. That's just too much to ask. But what about the last part- the whole "unplugging and tying" bit? Can't there be something that makes the process of charging our phones and iPods easier (lazier)?
Have no fear- WildCharge is here!
WildCharge is a new device that lets you simply set your electronic devices on top of a small, thin pad, and you sit back and watch your phone charge automatically. It can charge up to five of your whatchamacallits and only uses one power outlet! Amazing! After a long day, all you have to do and put your phone on top of it and it magnetically connects to the pad, and then you sit back and smile. Best of all, it's only 60 bucks!
WildCharge works by attaching four tiny raised dots on the back panel of your phone/iPod, which finds the the necessary path to your device's power source. Since nothing we have today has these, you'll have to put on a jacket on your stuff that acts also as a protective jacket. Unfortunately, it's kind of ugly.
Also, the only things that WIldCharge will charge at this time are BlackBerry Pearls, BlackBerry Curves and Motorola Razrs. New updates will also include iPods and iPhones in the near future.
Just think about the doors that could open because of this technology. WildCharge has already had talks to license and spread its technology to other parties, like incorporating this technology with Wii and Xbox controllers. Done playing Halo 3 or Smash Brothers? Just set your controllers on the mat and it'll be ready for you when you get back. Soon, we'll be able to charge all our electronic stuff, like laptops, wirelessly with ease.
Maybe I'll be able to add a couple more minutes of sleep to my morning routine too:p

i've heard about this technology, but in the version i read, no adapter-case was necessary. in a demonstration a lamp was powered without wires, but the distance was limited to about 1 foot from the wall (where the power supply was). this technology could change our entire infrastructure. imagine no outlets, no cords, potentially never having to even think about "charging" batteries, because if these devices are prevalent enough, just walking across a college campus could charge all of our wireless (now even more so) devices
It's crazy how this technology could very well change they way we live in the near future. I imagine that WildCharge requires an adapter just for the sheer amount of power it takes to charge phones and iPods.
I was also thinking about how the technology developed, how we may never have to charge anything ever again. Man, that'd be pretty sweet especially for Macbooks.
i have no trouble with my macbooks battery life. i'm working on a 3 hour minimum.
anyways. http://gizmodo.com/5070315/artifical-heart-developed-beats-almost-exactly-like-real-thing
...just think of the possibilities
