Gadgets: WildCharge Wireless Power for iPhone and iPod Touch
By Jay GarrettWelcome to another round up of Gadgety News – so, what's kicked off over the last seven days?
Well in the world of mobile phones the HTC Hero went official and the HTC Firestone got leaked, iPhone gamers were given a bone to play with as well as a brand new spanky 3GS.
Tuesday saw the announcement that the UK is to host the world's biggest trial of electric and hybrid powered vehicles and somewhere in Surrey there's a robot working from the power of a rat's mind.
British Telecom have partned up with Cashbox, the ATM providers, to slip some more Wi-Fi into our zones, we've seen the smallest working electric drill as well as the cutest manga fembot make a cup of coffee all the way from grinding the beans to pouring the brew.
We all love gadgets here don't we? That's why you're reading this surely!
The bane of our gadgety existance is plugging stuff in to charge – how 20th Century of us in this age of wireless pretty much everything.
Thankully for owners of the Apple tactile loving iPhone and iPod Touch Wildcharge has finally brought their conductive charging system love to the fruity handhelds.
Slip your Apple device into the soft, matte black case and it shall then be allowed to be charged whenever it is placed on a WildCharger Pad.
The cases cost around £25 and the pad weighs in at around 50 notes.
I'm totally digging the idea of placing my phone on the table to charge (especially as my USB cable looks like it's been chewed) – trouble is I don't want my iPhone covered.
I bought a white one for a reason.... so, conductive charging or vanity?.... there's a tough question for a goth!
