SplashPower: Wireless Charger for PowerVixxen, PowerPC PDA

[asian1]

The SplashPad can supply up to 10 Watts of power.
Is it possible to use this device with PowerVixxen LT, ColdFire or the secret AmigaOS based PowerPC 405 PDA?

From MobileMag.com:

Splashpower, the emerging global major in evolving wireless solutions for portable, has added two new products to its offering line. The company will be shipping its Multi SplashPad and the Single SplashPad, which are based on Splashpower's patented Paraflux technology. The products are tipped to upscale the power and capability of many portable devices including nextgen mobile phones. The key features of the Multi SplashPad is that it will simultaneously charge several portable devices; like mobile phones, MP3 players, digital camera and PDAs, by simply placing them on the pads surface. It will not require any device to be plugged in, and is projected as a time saving solution. The slim and lightweight Single Splash Pad, as the name implies, will pave the way for charging one device at a time. This is billed as the perfect entry point product for those who are switching over to wireless chargers.

I've been waiting for this for years.  I saw something similar at CES a few years back.  

It doesn't make sense on an desktop computer, but for mobile devices it's great.

I'd rather wait until I don't rely on magnetic media before I use induction pads...

Very Star Treky. Looks like fun.

A charger for Powervixxen LT? Never heard that this device was based on rechargeable batteries.  :lol:

Any unit that uses this, has to have the reciever modules built in or an external module attached.  Nothing I have, has it built in, and if I have to keep track of the external module and the splashpad, I am probably better off with my cord.  However I think they are aiming at the wrong market (ie trying to get others to implement there recievers in the hardware).   Instead they should be convincing the rechargable battery guys to add the circuitry to the batteries, then you could replace the batteries of your hardware with more expensive but wirelessly rechargable batteries which would work with the splashpad.  That would grow the hardware usable by the product fairly quickly.
