Wireless electricity
Mobilewise.
This is something that I definitely want to have at home and to travel with! Do you think this is going to show up in aftermarket batteries for Laptops and Mobile phones or integrated into final products first?

Their web page doesn't say, but I'm guessing it's a refined flux field. This technique has been around for many years. People have used it in the past to steal electricity from power utilities. But one wonders about the side effects on the human body as well as nearby high tech gadgets.

From their site:
Providing a replacement for plug-in power
adapters, the wire-free portable-device power
system can drive and charge any compatible device
placed on its desk-blotter-style mat--freeing the
user from cables, adapters, and the bulk and
complexity involved. The system can safely power
multiple items of up to 30 V each simultaneously
with a total power requirement of up to 240 W
The system features a control chipset that is
placed into the contact mat and an adapter chip,
called the Wire-Free Electricity Adapter, which
resides inside compatible portable devices..
Interesting. I guess you just drag around a rigid 16 x 32 mat complete with a cord rather than a transformer and a cord. One giant step for mankind.

Hmm, my read doesn't sound like it's a flux field.

For a moment I thought they had cloned Nikola Tesla 
Interesting little device, I wouldn't quite call it wireless, but it looks like it is based on the principle of induction.
I wonder if it will be embraced by mobile device manufacturers.
It would be awesome as lesman said, to have it in a tray table.

Sony Ericsson promotes a cordless charger that sould be perfect for people who travels alot. But its only cordless bescuse the charger is just a wall plug with a Sony Ericsson compatible stand for some of their phones. Oh well, who want to crawl on the floor just to charge the mobile? 
Sony Ericsson CMT-10.

I made the mistake of watching the demo on the homepage. It is painfully slow.
Also, I take issue with this:
"Maximum output: 200W
(a laptop requires no more than 50W)"
Sorry folks, but it seems to me like there are a lot of laptops that require more than 50W. Certainly enough to make that 50W claim absurd.
This seems somewhat interesting. It would be more convenient for home use, but that doesn't really blow me away that much. It would be very convenient to have them in places where the public regularly brings wireless devices, like airline lounges and seatbacks. But then, even in lounges, you'd still have to sit at a desk, and a lot of people like using their computers on their laps on couches and such...
