There has recently been some discussion about a new type of technology coming to certain products sometime next year. Intel and IDT have been working on a form of wireless charging technology to be implemented in PC’s, so when you set your device next to the PC, it begins charging automatically. It will be used in Ultrabooks and all-in-one PCs and will have the ability to charge certain products such as: keyboards, mice, storage devices, cameras, and smartphones. WiTricity and MediaTek have also been working together on some wireless charging products. Their plans include using the technology with mobile handsets, tablets, game controllers, as well as many other devices. The developments that WiTricity and MediaTek have come up with are allowing for wireless charging to work while products are a few feet apart while Intel and IDT’s products will only be able to charge a few inches apart. Since WiTricity and MediaTek’s wireless charging has a larger range they are also working on using the technology for charging electric vehicles.
