Thanks to inductive charging technology, showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January, Apple's immensly popular tablet iPad 2 can now be charged without the need of connecting it to wires.
The system is called LaunchPort and it uses the same technology which is used in production of an electric current across a conductor moving through a magnetic field.
After connecting the system, owners of iPad 2 need to place the tablet into a specially designed sleeve called a PowerShuttle that is placed on a tabletop BaseStation or WallStation. As you mount your iPad, the system begins the charging process without the use of any wires.
Not only does the charging system improves the aesthetics of the place, it even allows users to rotate the tablet 360 degrees, thus, making the system more comfortable to use.
The sleeve even has its own speakers that boosts the sound system of the tablet. The sleeve's magnets even let you stick your iPad onto a refrigerator or work bench, thus offering you a wide range of space to operate upon.
A powerful idea indeed. However, owning such a sleek-looking system comes at a cost which is $350.
