I remember reporting this awhile ago. Charging a number of things on these mats, no wires. It is 'wireless' but not truely, you can't roam around, but just place the device on the mat and your good.

The solution is not actually entirely "wire free", however. The base station is plugged into an AC adapter and can deliver up to 30V DC to an individual device. It's also, according to Goren, completely safe, and if any charge were delivered to a person, it would be at the level of a low-voltage battery, virtually imperceptible to humans and certainly not harmful, he added. The final base units will also, he said, be waterproof and protected from electrostatic charges.
