Those plastic targets are really tacky. I will wait until the alliance for wireless power comes up with their devices. The latter is a little more advanced. It uses magnetic resonance, so the target device can be at a small distance from the charger coil. This means that you can put the charger under a wooden board, and the device being charged on top of the board. Thus, a charging enabled table will look exactly like any other table and will not have an ugly plastic target on it. Furthermore, the device being charged does not have to be exactly aligned, so no tacky plus signs. You can also charge several devices at one time. What we have here is an interim half-way solution that will mostly give wireless charging a bad name for a while.
