Any phone with Qi technology.

I didn't see anything that said they are using the Qi standard, did I miss something?

I bet it is. See those coils? It's the only thing that makes sense.

It should be compatible but after looking at a variety of them from different manufacturers, it doesn't look like there is one industry standard that fits every phone. Needs to be, and hopefully that's not too far away.

The idea is that you dont have to plug in the cable every time you want to charge, so the wireless charger is always plugged in! your phone isnt!

The idea does not have to end where you gain 2 seconds of not having to cable the phone up (which is cool), but still having to put it near the wall since the charger itself is connected (which is not so cool).

How about the charger being portable itself so you can put your phone on the plate in the kitchen, in the garage, in the garden, on a train, in your bag, whetever.

A regular wireless charger that is portable at the same time, If nobody makes it I'll have to do it myself heh.

It also makes it so you don't have to fumble for the cable at night and hopfully put it in the right way. I for one think the micro USB is a horable design and I always have problems with mine breaking or having to put it in just right to make it work. There is also there lie with there being two standerds with micro USB because I have cables that won't charge my phone and some that do while it is the opposite with my Motorola. Most all micro USB that had the letter b on the plug in did not charge my galaxy s3 but did my note 2

I think we call that technology here "Power Bank". though you still need to charge the device first but you can carry it much like a phone casing.

Maybe you wanna go back to the phone tethered to the wall with no sms, mms, Pandora, Netflix, no remotes for tv, and plowing the field with horses.
