11Energizer Inductive Charger
The Energizer Inductive Charger uses Qi—a charging standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium—to power devices without wires. For the moment, devices need a “Qi sleeve” in order to charge (Energizer offers a Qi sleeve for the iPhone and a “Qi door” for the BlackBerry curve), but apparently Qi will be integrated into future devices.
