One thing I hate about traveling is carrying a shopping bag full of power cords. This is no exaggeration. I literally drop from 4-10 power or USB cords into a plastic bag. The common list includes separate chargers for 2 cell phone chargers, razor, toothbrush, laptop, and iPod. (There used to also be chargers for the PDA, GPS, and Bluetooth headset as well.)
This past weekend, I even convinced my cousin, who has been traveling on business a fair amount lately, to buy a portable power strip, so that she could charge more gadgets at once in a hotel room.
I just saw this review for a charging pad, and I can't wait for this technology to be more widely available. Imagine having one of these charging pads in the car, one in each hotel room, one at each office desk, etc. Then, whenever anything needed a charge, I'd just drop it on the nearest pad.
Of course, I'm taking the article at its word when it says that there's no radiation produced by this process. For such cool technology, I'll suspend belief.
