Hitachi Maxell Will Release Wireless Charging Pad For iPhone 4
Posted in: Miscellaneous Tech, Today's Chili
Hitachi Maxell is planning to release a wireless charging pad for the iPhone 4 in April for Japan. The company will release two models called WP-PD10.BK and WP-PS10S. The WP-SL10A.BK, meanwhile, will be more of a charging sleeve than pad.
All three pads use a cable free method of charging that is standard, called Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). WP-PD10.BK has enough room for 2 iPhones or iPods to charge at a single time. Other than that, they are pretty much the same. Hitachi has not released any info about if you can charge other devices on it, as of yet. Also no price was released for any of the 3 charging pads.
I think charging pads for devices are pure genius. My only real issue here, is that they do say if it is safe to charge other devices on it. I think if they did state if it is safe or not would make a good selling point for the charging pads.
