After a long wait, consumers can now purchase WildCharge through their website  . In addition, WildCharge has announced the adaptors for the iPhone, iPod, Blackberry Pearl, Blackberry 8800, and the 2nd generation ipod Nano are now available for purchase.

The charger comes with a very thin adapter which you place on the back of the phone and all you need to do is place your phone on the pad and it will charge, wirelessly – check out these images:

Whilst I am not convinced the unit is fully inductive loop charging, it IS an interesting solution – and if we can get a review unit, we’ll let you know what it’s like in more detail. In the meanwhile, you can read more, and buy, here.

About The Author

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

    Interesting idea, can’t wait to read your review for this new mobile charger gadget :smile:

    So you have to attach something that makes the device thicker to use this? Why would anyone want to do that? Far easier to plug in the phone to charge than carrying an ugly attachment around 24/7. I thought they would be supplying batteries with the ‘receiver’ inside for the inductive loop charging so the device wouldnt have any more bulk. This iteration of the product probably wont sell well, but its quite interesting.
