Google’s Nexus 4 Wireless Charging Orb Now Shipping
Got a Nexus 4? Good news. Today, Google began selling their long-awaited wireless charging orb. To be candid, this technology isn’t anything new, as we saw something comparable from the likes of PowerMat years ago. However, what makes the Nexus 4 and the orb so attractive is that it doesn’t...
Magnetyze iPhone Case is iPhone Magnetic Inductive Charging Done Right…Finally (video)

Powermat For iPhone 4
