Another complaint about the induction charger: do you want to haul that thing around in your travel luggage? Apple, particularly with the iPhone 3G, has done a great job of reducing the travel weight of the accessories you might need.

Also, I'm curious about power efficiency. How many watts does the induction charger consume relative to a wired charger?


I didn't realize they had magnets in the phone case. That's a potential disaster if somebody shoves a credit card into the same pocket as their phone.
