In order to charge them, though, you need an adapter that goes into your device that properly touches the exposed wires. If you have seen an iPod Nano very closely, you can recognize the foreign thing stick out of the bottom of the one in the picture. It’s basically a safe version of exposed wires charging your stuff.

It uses non-inductive technology to pass the current from strip to device without all that falderal you usually have to go through to charge it. " Ok it's NON-INDUCTIVE...so what does that mean? I don't care just as long as it works! The Gizmodo site clearly states

It uses non-inductive technology to pass the current from strip to device without all that falderal you usually have to go through to charge it. ”

Ok it’s NON-INDUCTIVE…so what does that mean? I don’t care just as long as it works!

"Their system is claimed to be conductive, rather than inductive: devices will be powered by an attached or integrated adapter, which must itself touch the pad." There won't be *any* devices with integrated adaptors for a while, and it's anybody's guess how obtrusive the "attached adaptors" may be...

Unlike a SonicCare toothbrush, the Wild Charge uses non-inductive technology. Tom, please research this device before commenting.

I'm concern about the power loss. Anyone know if there's any? The Japanese scientists demonstrated a table with similar power panels. One can simply place a laptop on this table without a power cord! With blue tooth, wireless connections and all, one can truly be detangled at last! Yeah, my toothbrush is charged with similar system. I’m concern about the power loss. Anyone know if there’s any?

It would be easier, cheaper and simpler to put all the charging bricks in a box with a plug strip. This is just inductive charging. SoniCare electric toothbrushes charge this way.
