Imagine having your mp3 player accessed directly once they are in the range and charging it at the same time.

No more wires for me... and I believe that's gonna be the trend. Within 5 years, we will see fully wireless computers that even their power are wireless. Mark my words for it.
Tesla already thought of that. Won't work for anything but small devices that draw very little power.
