Wireless Power Consortium hopes to standardize everyone on Qi for wireless charging

Remember Fulton’s eCoupled wireless charging solution? Well, Fulton got together with some other big power hitters such as Philips, National Semiconductor, Sanyo and others to form the Wireless Power Consortium, their main purpose being to create and guide a wireless power charging standard.

Wireless Power ConsortiumThey named their standard Qi (as in the Chinese life force). Now, actual working products are starting to emerge. For example, Dell’s Latitude Z uses the technology, and now Energizer is releasing its Inductive Charger for the iPhone and Blackberry Curve and even for the Wii.

Of course, you probably also know about Powermat, but they are a competing technology. Ah, technology wars – let us count the ways we hate thee.
