Everything is going wireless this year, and I'm loving it. I've written about headphones, printers, keyboards, mice, and now charging stations. Wild Charge has been teasing us with the idea of a wireless charging pad for some time, but the company has confirmed that they'll begin selling them to the public starting July 7.
WildCharge is going to truly change the way we charge our gadgets. The WildCharger is a thin pad that plugs into the wall, then sits on your desk ready to charge as many gadgets as you can fit on it. You can only charge gadgets equipped with a WildCharger adapter, which can be either attached or be integrated into the device itself. The site doesn't specify if these adapters are included with the pad, so I have a feeling they won't be.
There are many benefits to wireless charging stations. For one, you don't have to remember what charger goes with what gadget ever again, or travel with bulky chargers or tangled cords everywhere you go. I also would love to see less powerstrips coming out of every outlet. Computer World has a great article that explains a little more about wireless charging, if you really want to know. In the meantime, I'll be marking my calendar.

Am I understanding correctly, that, it will work with existing phones? I read the article but I'm still somewhat unclear on this.
