Charge your gadgets without a powercord

Charge your gadgets without a powercord | CES 2009 - CNET Blogs

"Imagine dropping your cell phone and MP3 player into a special pocket in the console of your car, and having them automatically charged up. Leggett and Platt, an automotive parts supplier, is using technology from Fulton Innovation that makes this scenario a reality. Fulton's ECouple technology lets devices charge up wirelessly, just by setting them down on a special charging surface.

At CES, Leggett and Platt is showing various applications of this technology, including a car console with special pockets to recharge a BlackBerry and a flashlight. The company also has a Bosch power toolbox that automatically charges a wireless drill and saw."
