Intel Wireless Charging Coming Soon

Currently, the Qi wireless charging standard is the leading standard in the wireless charging industry, Intel though is trying to change that by giving their own wireless charging option. According to Kumar Chinnaswamy, the General Manager of Wireless Charging in Intel, there are a few smartphones ready to use Intel’s new wireless charging, what these devices are, we still don’t know. Another interesting thing is that Intel’s wireless charging will also be integrated into notebooks and tablets.

Regarding wireless charging inside laptops, the high to mid end laptops will be getting the treatment first starting at the first quarter of 2015, with the low end offerings will start 2 years after on 2017. The laptops coming with Intel’s wireless charging is said to have the Intel Core M series chips running inside.

I am assuming though that only smartphones running Intel’s own chip will dawn their very own wireless charging technology. I am only speculating this, but I believe it is a likely possibility.

More information regarding Intel’s wireless charging is currently unavailable and we still don’t know how their technology will work. It will be quite interesting to see how their rendition of wireless charging will compete with the current Qi wireless charging standard.

Air Dock 2.0 Comes With New Features And More Ways To Mount

From the people behind Air Dock, the wireless mobile device charger that you can mount on your car’s windshield comes the second version of this travel-friendly device for people on-the-go. This new setup for the well-received Air Dock – dubbed Air Dock 2.0, comes with new features and gives more mounting options making it more flexible than it already is. Air Dock 2.0 is currently available for crowdfunding via IndieGoGo.

For starters, Air Dock uses Qi wireless charging technology as an energy bridge to charge your smartphone from the mounted dock. To connect your smartphone onto the dock, all you need to do is place it so that the back of your phone is in contact with the surface of the dock. Your phone then sticks to the dock and stays there. This is made possible because of the nano suction foam that’s present on the dock’s surface. That’s actually a deal-maker for those who think that wires are too messy and clips aren’t too reliable.

Air Dock 2.0 add more options for mounting the Air Dock onto your car. Of course, there is the standard way of doing it, one in which you simply stick one end onto a smooth surface such as your car windshield. Another is when the Air Dock stick to textured surfaces, and the third option lets you mount the dock onto smooth surfaces (like the first one) but it comes with a flexible rod that you can bend to fit your preferences. To those who don’t really use their CD players much, the fourth mount has a flat part which you can slip into your CD-player’s slot, leaving the dock to stick out of it.
