The future of wireless charging for laptops got a little more confusing over this past week, as leading companies sent opposing signals (no pun intended) about the technology's viability in a changing PC environment.
Wireless charging company WiTricityshowcased #Dell laptops using its charging mat last week at the Computex trade show, but just a few days later Intel signaled a retreat from its efforts whenfour of its executives resigned from the AirFuel Alliance trade group that is working on wireless charging solutions.
Wireless charging seems like a key breakthrough for mobile devices of all kinds, but despite public pronouncements and untold resources thrown at it, the technology is still in something of a purgatory. For every #Android smartphone capable of being charged without cables, there's an #iPhone that natively can't.
