Panasonic Wireless Charge Pad Coming In Japan's Cafés; Charge 'Em All!

Now, you can see wireless and contact-less charge pads at the coffee table besides the menu card in a  café in Japan, that would let you charge your smatphones or tablets without the need of the cables. Just put your phone on the charge-pad and it senses it using its moving coil system and starts charging. Panasonic is bringing this facility across major cafés, stores, and karaoke stations across Japan. The charge-pad adheres to the Wireless Power Consortium’s Qi standard. Hence, the bad news is that not all smartphones are compatible with the charge-pad. Only Qi-enabled devices (like Eluga V P–06D) are capable of using it.

Looks like the japanese keep finding ways of using technology on the go. You might want to see an year old video featuring Panasonic Charge Pad QE-TM101-K -
