Just plug in this charger pad to one outlet and put some sort of small sticker on your cell phone or hopefully iPod and it’ll charge your gadget when on the pad automatically.  No plugging in any more wires such as the dock connection.  I like the idea, which I’ve seen before.  Gotta wait till after MWSF 2007.

Too bad Microsoft’s Zune doesn’t sync over 802.11.  Then you wouldn’t need to connect it to the computer at all via wire with something like this and Apple would hopefully match that.
