Power your devices without wires (sort of)

The last hurdle over making wireless phones truly wireless would be cutting the charging cord. WildCharge is making progress toward a wire-free future with their inductive charging solution, but since this isn't contactless charging, you're still stuck lugging around an inductive charging mat. The WildCharger sits on your desk, waiting to power your favorite mobile devices using custom mounts that plug directly into your mobile phone, portable media player and ideally any other mobile device you've got lying around. 

The good part? Devices should charge just as they would if you plugged them into the wall without any ill electromagnetic side effects (read: your data is safe.)  The bad part? The mounts look to pack on the (relative) pounds and give them a bit more hefty look.  Take a look at the iPod Nano in the picture and notice it's basically double the size of the original Nano. No fun for the truly slim, but luckily the phone mounts don't look as hefty in the picture, but more along the lines of a traditional belt clip.

The WildCharger launches on July 7th but doesn't have any pricing information as of yet, except the company says it'll be competitive with other charging solutions.  Interesting? Sure, but we'll reserve judgment till after we see more of the mounts.
