WildCharge is now taking orders for its WildCharge system for a number of cellphones. It looks like wireless power is finally happening. The WildCharge site is even offering one day delivery.
You can buy a skin, a mat, or a bundle for several phones. It’s a simple idea. Place a case on your phone and place it on top of the mat. Power is transferred simply by placing your device on the mat.
The pad itself costs $49.99. The skins are $34.99 and a bundle is $79.99. Their products are currently available for the Motorola Razr V3, the BlackBerry Curve and Pearl and a “Universal Adapter” that attaches to mini-USB devices, Nokia, and Sony Ericsson devices.
The site has lots pictures of other devices using the technology including the T-Mobile G1 and older iPods, but adapters for those devices are not available yet.
At CES, we saw a couple of competing wireless power solutions with Powermat and Fulton’s ecoupled technology, but this is the first one that is actually available.

great device but a little bulky
Who is going to use this ugly thing?
Put that on the back of my phone? No thanks!
