seryoso ba yan? dati pa namin naisip ni mando yang wireless power supply eh. HAHAHA. para kasing it will defeat the purpose since unless passive ang wireless receiver dun sa cellphone end.

actually hindi sya wireless. There's still a wire from the power outlet to the charging pad. Tapos you have to buy an adapter for your phone such that when you place it on top of the pad, it sort of creates a short connection. The weird thing is that up to now, the only phone they support is MotoRazr V3. I think their waiting for a big company to buy their technology. Nung una ko ngang nakita, naisip ko hindi practical bumili nito. But if you think about it, if it becomes a standard or for instance apple decides to buy the company and puts the adapter built-in in all their gadgets, it can be useful and practical to have.
