\"Wireless<\/a>Those of us tired of dealing with tangled cord and bulky wall warts may get some relief in the near future. iSuppli Corp.<\/a> is predicting<\/a> that a flood of new electronic gizmos with wireless charging capabilities will be inundating the market. The market research firm believes that the global market for wireless charging devices for smartphones like the RIM<\/a> (RIMM<\/a>) Torch<\/a>, tablet computers such as the Apple<\/a> (AAPL<\/a>) iPad2<\/a> media players like the Apple iPod Touch<\/a> will drive the global market for wireless charging devices to 234.9 million units in 2014, up 65% from 3.6 million in 2010, according to iSuppli.<\/p>\n

\"iSuppli<\/a>\u00a0Tina Teng<\/a>, senior analyst for wireless research at iSuppli told<\/a> Itnewslink.com<\/em><\/a>, \u201cOver the next five years, wireless charging devices will find their way into an increasing number of applications, including mobile phones, portable media players, digital still cameras, and mobile PCs.”<\/p>\n

Mobile phones will drive wireless charging acceptance according to Ms. Teng, ” …mobile phones will contribute the largest share of revenue to wireless charging-not only because of the large volume of mobile devices expected to benefit from the technology, but also because of participation by name brands in manufacturing the device, providing much-needed market recognition in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\u201cGeniusDespite the optimism, iSuppli believes there are still barriers to the widespread adoption of wireless charging. Manufacturers will have to make wireless charging in their devices down to the circuit board level which will drive down costs. The wireless charging industry will need to adopt a common standard to ensure interoperability among products. Currently, all products are proprietary. Skins made by one company, will not work with the charger pad of another. \u201cUntil the industry finds a standard to follow, the wireless charging industry will be fragmented, and consumers will hesitate to adopt any solution that could be compromised by the rival companies,\u201d Itnewslink.com<\/em> quotes Ms. Teng, \u201cHowever, an open, standardized system will create a healthier competitive environment and prompt manufacturers to join forces-which will enhance consumer awareness and lead to adoption in the markets.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are four wireless charging technologies. The wireless charging technologies include Near-field magnetic resistance, Far-field magnetic resistance, Conductive magnetic resistance, and Inductive magnetic resistance wireless charging systems.<\/p>\n
