iPhone out of Juice? Let it Catch Some Rays

A Scottsdale, Arizona based firm makes recharging all of your devices at once - incredibly easy. The company is Wildcharge and their device bears the same name. Wildcharge is a small thin magnetic pad. Lay all of your gadgets on the pad and they will charge as quickly as if they were connected to a wall outlet. Mitch Randall and Izhar Matzkevich are the brains behind the device. The pair has big plans for Wildcharge. A larger pad is about to be released to charge laptops. Also, a flip-top Wildcharge pad is being developed for vehicles. Randall ad Matzkevich is even in conversation with a luxury car manufacturer to have their Wildcharge be an in-dashboard installation. Talks are also being held with specialty retailers to distribute the Wildcharge line.

Randall and Matzkevich believe that recharging your devices should be simple. Consumers need to purchase an adaptor for their gadget that allows it to receive power from the pad. The connector is either a sticker (connects with the device’s battery) or a gel wrap. Diminutive charge connectors are implanted in the gel wrap. Attach the adaptor, whether gel wrap or sticker, to the device. Wildcharge adaptors currently support RAZRs, Blackberries and iPhones. Within a month, a new product with universal adaptors will be launched for Wildcharge. There will be an adaptor to fit any electronic gadget on the market today. After the gadget has an adaptor attached it, the consumer can simply lay the device onto the Wildcharge pad. You don’t need to worry about how the device is placed - upside down, right side up, on its side - power is transferred from the pad to the adapter. A closed electrical circuit is created between the adaptor and the pad. The Wildcharge charging method removes threats from harmful radiation or magnetic fields.

Wildcharge has won an amazing number of awards. Its most recent award, Best of Innovation Award, came from the 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show. The company has also won awards from Entrepreneur and Time Magazines. Recently Intel displayed a Wildcharge device in a laptop case. This will be a company to watch in 2008. Wildcharge could easily become the next tech-gadget household name.
