I am very excited about the AirPower because of one aspect that I think has been over looked: the ability to charge multiple devices without having to align them on the pad.
Other multi device Qi chargers require you to place the devices on a specific space because every device needs to be aligned to its own charging coil but Apple seems to have invented a technology that allows any of three devices to be place however the user wants to place them.
That opens the door to a counter top which is Qi enabled on its entire surface so people can put their devices on it without having to worry that they haven't aligned them properly. Maybe one day we can have a Qi enabled Macbook or even iMac! (Qi supports up to 120 Watts)
