Comments on: Cell phones get surround sound

British company adds the convincing illusion of three-dimensional sound for mobile-phone listeners.

question about cell phone charging

Is there anything on the market or in the works that would automatically start charging a cell phone or say an ipod immediatley when you are in the vacinity of its power source? For example, the second you walk in your door at home your electronic device, whatever it may be, would automatically start charging without hooking up to a outlet?

If Tesla had his way with his wireless transmission of power back in the 30's, we'd have seen it long ago. But we all have Edison and JP Morgan to thank for wanting to put a price tag on Edison's crappy Direct Current, which couldn't be transmitted wirelessly.

Yes, cell phones will soon be charged wirelessly - you will just need to be sufficiently close to a source of appropriate energy. Unfortunately, most of those kill humans, but you can be first on your block to worship our new cybernetic overlords.
