Wireless Power Is A Stupid Gimmick

• mmastrac 14y ago
  "And anyplace I would expect a wireless charging pad to be, I would expect a wall socket." How many people carry around the cables to charge? I'd love it if I could set my phone down and top it up 25% or more without having to dig out the hardware for it.

    It would be even easier to put a microUSB cable everywhere you'd put a wireless charging pad.

  A similar charger as an add-on for an older Samsung Galaxy costs about $35. If you pay even $5 for a simple USB cable and a wall socket adapter you're getting ripped off. You probably don't even need one of those because you already have four or five lying around the house. This is a dumb argument. Cars cost more than shoes because A) they are more expensive to make and B) people are willing to pay more for a better solution. devices are going to require power faster than battery technology can keep up... I'm not so sure I see this happening. My EVO 4G would like a word with you :)
