The newest entrant into the wireless-charging, magnetic-induction game comes in the form of a partnership between Mobile & Wireless Group (MWg) and Slashpower. The two companies have joined forces to bring wireless charging (by which electrical currents are induced by magnetic fields) to a handset near you.
As with all wireless-charging solutions, MWG and Slashpower will have you place your handset on a special “charging pad” – which will charge your device by magnetically inducing the electrical fields that move those Lithium ions to the “charged” side of the battery.
Until now, wireless charging solutions have required that mobile phones be retrofitted before they work with the charging-technology. MWg and Slashpower are working to integrate these components into handsets that should be made available in the second half of 2008.
Forget the wires, bring on the magnetic fields!
