Wireless charging technology is already here but it’s everything but widely used, though we gotta give it to Google and LG for integrating it in the Nexus 4. However, this wireless charging still requires dedicated docking stations that are on their end connected to the power plug with a cable. While that’s not generally a problem, Apple thinks it has a better solution and has recently filed a patent for its own wireless charging technology with the USPTO.
Titled “Wireless Power Utilization In A Local Computing Environment,” the patent relies on the near-field magnetic resonance to push power to compatible devices from a central unit. By creating some sort of an invisible bubble, your gadgets will be able to recharge without the need for cords or plugs of any kind. In other words, to recharge your device you would just have to set it down on your desk. Pretty cool, though I would say we’re still few year from seeing this technology in action…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
