Imagine never pluging in your smart phone, laptop or electric car for charging. Recent article in MIT technology preview prompted me to write a little post on this. Charging batteries without wire has been subject of research for many years but with proliferation of devices (smart phones, portable music players, net/notebooks, etc) we are seeing an increase in R&D work in this area. The theory is pretty simple. Intel has been working on this for some time now (see a cool demo and Intel CTO explaining how it works).

I saw this video a few months ago and forgot about it. Recently I spoke to a few iPhone owners who were interested in checking it out for fun so I am reposting it here. This chap has written an iPhone UX for pocket PC. It doesn't completely convert your pocket PC into an iPhone but it illustrates a point about the value of simple, intuitive and user friendly user interface.
