The Splashpower solution is based around technology that uses inductive coupling as a means of power transfer - which means you don’t need any wires, connectors or contacts between the pad and the device. Electromagnetic induction is a technology that is currently employed in a wide range of applications.&nbsp; Applications which currently used induction for power transfer include powering electric vehicles, recharging electric toothbrushes and powering smart-tags and security tags. Compatible devices will require the use of a SplashModule, so look for manufacturers to start incorporating this technology into mobile products.

Thats freakin Awesome! Even if it only works on small devices (phones, iPods, calculators) its still pretty amazing! Just imagine with a few years of R&D, wireless computers? (TVs, stereos, cars???)

Now lets hope it doesn't cause cancer.........

Don't worry about cancer! The usual thing with new products is a preliminary study, in which no one is known to die from it, and then it is considered okay, until someone proves it is a problem. Take DDT, for example. It was considered safe, sprayed in neighborhoods while children played in the streets, and, years later, they decided this was not such a good idea.

And, of course, they keep deciding that lower and lower levels of certain materials are hazardous, when they were previously believed to be safe levels.

The problem, of course, is that one never proves that anything is safe; one can only prove that something is hazardous, and that is not always easy to do, as it often takes time for the problems to develop (as, for example, smoking two packs a day will not hurt you much in a short period of time [as far as I know at the moment], though years of doing so will). So things are called "safe" when they are not known to be unsafe. Calling something "safe" when it is really only not known to be unsafe, of course, is not a very accurate designation, but people believe it, and therefore business goes on profitably. Don't worry; the same company that poisons you might make a profit off of the cure as well, by supplying some part of the treatment, a true win-win situation!
