MWg devices to have wireless charging

John Chan | Feb 01, 2008

While we are still waiting for MWg to release its first products, it has made another announcement. This time, it isn't new phones, but a partnership with UK-based Splashpower to provide wireless charging for its future devices.

When this is implemented, MWg's phones will not need to be plugged in for power. Instead, sitting it on a base station will allow wireless charging using electromagnetic induction. Such technology has been in the works for some time now, but till now, there's hardly any use of it in commercially available products.

Hardly any details have been provided by MWg so far. But given that the announcement is only about the agreement the two companies have made, we're not surprised. The first products will be equipped with the technology in the middle of the year.
