Wireless Charging for the iPhone has arrived!

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

It’s been ‘coming soon’ for months, but this morning we’ve received stock of the first Wireless Charger for the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS.

The WildCharge Charger for iPhone is made up of two parts, a charging pad and a tough protective case for your iPhone that contains the wireless charging technology. To charge your iPhone you just place your handset on the the pad and it starts charging instantly.

The protective case will not only charge your phone, but also help protect it against knocks and drops. It has cut outs for your camera, volume keys, power button, silent switch, headphones and speakers. The Dock connector is covered as the case connects to it in order to charge your phone, so you’ll need to remove the case in order to sync with iTunes – but given the fact that most people sync their phones far less often than they charge them I can’t see this being a problem – hopefully Apple will add wireless syncing to the iPhone in a future software update. The WildCharge Skin doesn’t include a screen protector so if you want to look after your screen you’ll need to buy one separately.

The WildCharge Pad includes UK and European adapters and charging times are the same as they would be if you were charging from the Mains adapter or USB cable that came with your phone.

The WildCharge Pad will work with other phones too, all you need to do is buy a charging skin or adapter. WildCharge adapters are currently available for Mini USB devices, Nokia 2mm phones and Sony Ericsson handsets.

BlackBerry Wireless Charger

Wireless Charging

Fed up of cables trailing across your desk? Do you find yourself constantly crawling under your desk to find the end of your charger? Well this Wireless Charging Pad from WildCharge could be the answer that you’re looking for.

Wireless Charging has been floating around for a while, but never really taken off until now. WildCharge is a simple concept. You have a charging pad that is connected to the mains, and a protective skin for your phone that has built in contacts to supply the power to the battery. To charge your phone, simply place it on the pad. It doesn’t matter how your phone is placed on the pad, as long as its facing upwards. The pad is completely safe and can be touched with no risk of getting a shock.

Now, I have to admit I was a bit weary of wireless charging, but was extremely surprised at how well it works. As soon as your phone is placed on the pad it starts charging, and charge times are the about the same as they would be using a standard charger.

The WildCharge is available now for the BlackBerry Pearl and BlackBerry Curve and is priced at £49.95. Replacement charging skins will be available to purchase separately, so when you replace your phone, you’ll only need to replace the skin. Wireless charging for the iPhone and iPod Touch are coming very soon.
