| 1383490 | 2014-09-10 06:57:00 | As for wireless charging I am yet to see one that doesn't require a cradle or that could take different devices. What about the Qi charging pad I have near me right now? |

I have no idea, my idea of wireless charging would be a oversized mouse pad that you could just throw device onto, not just something that has to be placed onto, otherwise just plug it in, it takes as much effort |

Unless of course you can say use this system and pop over to a mates house and use what ever system he has and so on. At the moment everyone had a charger laying around that's going to work. |

| 1383495 | 2014-09-10 10:26:00 | It was a sarcastic question on my half, I am an android user myself. As for wireless charging I am yet to see one that doesn't require a cradle or that could take different devices. Now the funny part is I'm not an android user :D |

Also if the phone rings while on charge you just pick it up, no annoying cord to deal with. I have a Qi compatible samsung charging pad for my Note 3 and it's brilliant, just slightly larger than the phone and sitting next to my keyboard at home. Whenever I sit down at the PC at home I just put it down on the charging pad, phone is always charged. As a bonus if I get any other Qi compatible devices I can use the same charging pad. To be honest I first got wireless charging for my previous phone just because I thought it was a cool (but not needed) gimmick. After using it for a couple weeks I would never go back to using the cable and I'm considering a car cradle with Qi charging as well. |

I remember Nokia made a cradle with wireless charging as well as an integrated NFC tag - put your phone in the cradle and it automatically starts a navigation app as well as charges. :D |
