Hopefully you can see from the slightly patchy CAD image, or maybe not – but plans are afoot to embed the charger for a Mobile device, within the device itself. Infinitely charged is a new concept design which removes the need for a separate charger.
The design is still patent-pending, and no estimates on when it might be commercially ready – but the travel adaptor-like design (you know where the pins retract) is clearly an influence here.
From my perspective, the bulk associated with this would be difficult to hide in the ‘anorexic’ (i.e. super slim) handsets that are currently the trend, but could work in something like a ruggedised handset perhaps?
What is it with novel charging solutions? You write about one, then a fleet of them (well, two in total) come along!

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.
