Everyone will agree the most annoying aspect of a mobile phone is when the battery dies, especially if the battery dies when you are in the middle of a call or on the way to a meeting.

The obvious solution to this problem is charge your phone before you use it – however just doing this can be a chore, finding the right cable, finding a spare plug and waiting for it to charge.

However the future has arrived, or so the manufactures would love us to believe, Wireless Charging !

You can now charge your phone or gadget wirelessly, gone is the need to find the cable and find a spare plug. You can simply place a special cover on your phone, also adding protection to the phone like any cover would, and then place your phone on a special mat and as if by magic it charges your phone.

Many different gadgets can be charged from one mat meaning no more hassle finding a spare plug or looking for the charger.

Also if your friend or workplace has the same mat you can just put your phone on their pad to get charged. However the obvious draw back is there is quite a few wireless charging mats and adapters on the market and they are not compatible with each other. The future is a wireless charging standard, so all mats charge all receivers.

Imagine how useful it would be to be to walk into Starbucks and put your phone on the side and have it charge whilst you drink your coffee, or the table on the train charges your phone? Hopefully this is not too far away, however I do believe the best is yet to come with wireless charging! Watch this space!
