I talked about this a few monthes ago but one of the companies behind the idea have held a demo in Oxford and it seems it can be incorporated into nearly everything electrical
"Mr Giler showed off a Google G1 phone and an Apple iPhone that could be charged using the system.
Witricity, he said, had managed to pack all the necessary components into the body of the G1 phone, but Apple had made that process slightly harder.
"They don't make it easy at Apple to get inside their phones so we put a little sleeve on the back," he said.
He also showed off a commercially available television using the system.
"Imagine you get one of these things and you want to hang it on the wall," he said. "Think about it, you don't want those ugly cords hanging down."
All good ideas, I personally think that WiTricity could be the next "big thing" and if I had money to invest I wouldn't mind sticking a bit behind the technology....

Just be careful when you turn on the TV that your cat is not in the way ..
I'm curious about how much energy will be wasted in the transmission process.
