BOULDER, Colo. June 23, 2009 -- WildCharge Inc., a leader in wire-free power technology, announces
today the availability of WildCharge Skins™ for the iPhone and the iPod touch. Consumers and licensing partners have been anxiously awaiting the skins, which enable the popular Apple devices to be charged by simply placing them on the WildCharger Pad™, or on other surfaces that are embedded with the WildCharge technology, where they will begin charging immediately. The iPhone and iPod touch skins add to a growing list of WildCharge solutions that enable wire-free charging for a variety of portable devices. The iPhone skin is compatible with all iPhone models, including the new 3GS.
"The market is demanding a move toward wire-free charging, and
WildCharge is thrilled to answer that call by adding Apple devices to
our lineup of commercially available products,” said WildCharge chairman
and CEO Dennis Grant. “With the addition of these two ‘Made for iPod’
and ‘Works with iPhone’ approved designs to our reference design
library, WildCharge is solidifying our position as the leading wire-free
charging developer in the industry.”
The WildCharge Skins are durable, protective form-fitting cases that when placed on
the WildCharger Pad, transfer wire-free power from the Pad to the device
inside the skin. The soft cases provide the same protection consumers
already enjoy from traditional skins, but have the added value and
convenience of enabling a wire-free charge. The WildCharger Pad, used in
conjunction with the skins, delivers full power to multiple devices,
allowing them to simultaneously charge together on the Pad while
eliminating the clutter caused by multiple chargers and power cords. The
iPod touch skin is available for order today and the iPhone skin will be
available in early July. WildCharge Skins are also available for the
Blackberry Pearl and Curve, and all are sold for $34.99 at
WildCharge.com.
In addition to the Skins, WildCharge recently announced a Universal Adapter for mobile devices that works with the WildCharger Pad. The
Universal Adapter is able to charge over 150 different cell phone models
from major brands such as Motorola, RIM, and Nokia through the use of
interchangeable tips, with the list of compatible devices constantly
expanding.
WildCharge provides the only commercially available technology that
enables licensing partners to deliver wire-free charging to a variety of
devices that require varying amounts of power. From cell phones that
require only a few watts of power to laptops that need over a hundred
watts, virtually any device that has a rechargeable battery can be
powered from a single, contiguous, and non-discriminating charging
surface. WildCharge technology has met the industry’s most stringent
regulatory and safety standards, including UL, CE, FCC, RoHS, and has
been certified across all of the GSM bands. WildCharge enables licensees
to bring new items to market quickly and cost effectively through its
reference design library, which features wire-free products that have
been conceived, engineered and tooled with a pre-established supply
chain.
