WildCharge has announced a line of wireless charging products for the iPhone and iPod touch, the WildCharge Adapter Skin for iPhone ($34.99) and WildCharge Pad ($49.99). The skin allows the iPhone to be recharged simply by laying it on the pad. No need to plug it in or mess around with cords.
The WildCharge Adapter Skin for iPhone is a tight-fitting, matte-black gel case that fits snugly around the iPhone. The bottom of the case plugs into the iPhone’s docking port. The back of the case is embedded with a contact module that creates an electrical connection when placed on the WildCharger Pad.
The WildCharge Pad measures 8 x 6 inches in size, delivers up to 15 watts of power, and can charge multiple iPhones or iPods at the same time. It is compatible with over 100 devices (click here for list).
Both products carry the official “Works with iPhone” label, meaning they are endorsed by Apple to work with the iPhone. The skin and pad are available in a bundle for $79.99 (saves you $5).
A similar device, known as the Touchstone, is available for the Palm Pre for $79.99.
