10 Jun 09 Nokia to Offer New Phone Charging Method?
It looks like the Pre has spawned a new phenomenon! I am not talking about the phone itself but about a certain accessory that costs just $5 to make according to some sources and will charge your phone without using any wires. That’s right the Touchstone is an ingenious inductive charging solution and this model might be copied soon by other carriers.
Nokia is apparently one of the most important names in the cell phone business interested in providing such a device. Nokia is taking a different approach than Palm. It will get that precious energy from the electromagnetic radiation that’s emitted from the cellphone’s antennas, WiFi transmitters, TV masts and other similar items. With such a technology into place you won’t have to charge your phone again with a regular charger. Nokia is currently testing it but we’re probably looking at more than a few years until the technology will be available for the public. Currently Nokia has managed to get up to 5 milliwatts from that electromagnetic waves but that’s nearly not enough. We’ll tell you more once Nokia has made more progress but in the mean time you can tell us all about your Touchstone experience. Are you happy with the device?
