A couple of months ago on this very blog I mentioned that wireless power would be a good idea. Now it’s becoming a reality. First, startup WiPower announced their plan to develop a wireless charging system, and now Seiko Epson and Murata have teamed up to develop their own version. (apparently one company is doing the charger, and the other one’s doing the battery.) The picture above shows WiPower’s prototype, apparently; Epson/Murata will charge devices “in about 10 to 15 minutes in a non-contact manner.”
