"The 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world's largest annual tradeshow for consumer technology, will serve as the public debut of eCoupled(TM), a revolutionary new technology that allows for the transmission of power and data without the traditional restraints of cords and ports. eCoupled technology is powering a new ecosystem of consumer devices that can be powered and charged without wires. Portable electronic devices become truly wireless. Devices can easily travel from home to auto to office eliminating the need for cords and physical power connections. Fulton Innovation, Visteon, Motorola, Herman Miller and Mobility Electronics are working jointly to commercialize solutions in the portable consumer electronics arena. eCoupled technology leverages inductive coupling, which works by transferring energy from one device to another through a shared magnetic field. The technology stems from the foundational work of renowned scientists Michael Faraday and Nikola Tesla."Great idea, I'd love to be able to get rid of all the brick and charging cables throughout my home and office. BUT this would require manufacturers to agree on a single wireless charging standard. As they've never been able to come up with a wired standard, I find it doubtful there will be enough agreement on this product to make it useful.
