No more wires, new technology beams power to your device
I read in Business 2.0 magazine this morning about a new company Powercast which is creating technology to charge devices without wires. They have signed a deal with Philips to power a number of their appliances. (Here’s an article on Yahoo news.)
It works by converting radio waves into DC power. It has a 3ft charging radius. Imagine no wires for your phone, mouse or keyboard. They say that they will have power for laptops within a couple of years.
So this means in a couple of years, we’ll be hunting for cafes with free wireless internet and power !
