IF this is safe for humans, then 2 things will happen rapidly -

1. most devices will be updated to use it
2. chargers will be integrated into buildings, malls, offices, vehicles etc

Basically this can be as widespread as wifi and can be a revolution.

I think this is cool :)

I wouldn't be so quick to state this is ushering in a new age of device charging. To be sure there will be other competing types emerging I'm sure. Companies like apple will be resistant to embrace, while Samsung type companies amy roll their own.

I do think this is a great achievement, but by the same token its too soon to see how this will play out

Sounds cool. However, for the time being, I love Qi. It's a pity Apple refuses to implement Qi (too).

Sounds great .... sounds actually tooooooo good to be true (or without negative repercussions) .... call me cynical.

This is great. Instead of useless specs this is what tech companies should focus on, something really useful.
