Now matter how strong one is, he needs to eat to absorb nourishment. So is iphone, as cool as the iPhone is, it still has to charge like a normal phone. That means plugging it in to a computer or power outlet, complete with the tangled wires and 30-pin connection. If you are looking for something better, you probably noted that the Palm Pre has the Touchstone, a wireless iPhone Charger option that uses inductive charging. The iPhone doesn't have a stock solution for this, but clever accessory makers have been able to work it into iPhone cases.The Airvolt Wireless iphone Charger among the IPad Accessories is an inductive charging kitfor the iPhone 3G and 3GS. The best part about the Airvolt is its simplicity (OK, charging without wires can't be that simple but for the user it is). You put your iPhone in the case and you then put the handset on the tray. If the tray is connected to a wall outlet your phone will start charging. That's it! There is also a USB port for powering /charging USB devices. I was able to plug my iPhone into this port and charge it using the USB-to-30-pin wire.The only other feature on the black plastic tray is an LED indicator that flashes red when the tray has power, red/green alternatively to indicate the phone is charging, and steady green when the charging is complete. The Airvolt's packaging says that a charge should take the same time as when using a "standard charger" which has not been my experience with inductive chargers in the past, but it would be great to see. The Airvolt, unlike iPhone 3G Car Charger automatically powers off so you don't have to worry about your phone overcharging. The instructions say to unplug the Airvolt when it's not being used for more than 8 hours but that might just be standard legal boilerplate.The tray itself is a small device made of black plastic. It's about the size of two or three stacked CD jewel cases (4.5 x 5.5-inches) and it's lightweight. It feels a bit flimsy but since it' s not something that has to travel this shouldn't be a problem. The tray isn't particularly handsome so you might not want to give it an overly prominent place on your desk. On its underside is a mysterious battery department with no connection, as if the tray had been repurposed from some other device, but retained vestiges of its previous application. The bump on the left side of the top is a result of this empty pocket. As much as I complain about glossy plastic it would have worked nicely here as this is something you'd probably like to show off on your desk, kitcher, or foyer.The iPhone case is a sleeve-style and it's coated in a soft-touch material. It covers the bottom on the phone, though it has vents placed by the speaker and microphone so those aren't closed off. While the bottom of the phone is completely enclosed (and protected), the top and front are both left exposed so the case only offers some protection for your iPhone. The phone would have about a 50-50 cha nce of being protected in case of a drop. The camera, buttons, and ear area (holding the GPS and proximity detection) are not covered so access to them is not an issue. The best part about the case is that it is slim and light, adding a minimum amount of material to the slim phone.Source by /index.php/2010/09/wireless-iphone-charger-comprehensive-accessory-for-iphone/
