Forget chargers, recharge phones the wireless way

London: How often have you forgotten your mobile chargers and been in trouble unable to charge your mobile at crucial moments? Now disregard the need to remember your chargers, Japanese technology company Fujitsu has developed a system capable of charging multiple portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, digital cameras and laptop computers without the need for cable connections simultaneously.The new prototype system unveiled by Fujitsu at an Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers conference at Osaka Prefecture University will also enable electric car users to charge their vehicles with the help of this technology. Fujitsu’s technology, averted to be the first of its kind works on the foundation of the transmission of electricity using magnetic fields between the charger and the electronic device and will support wireless charging at distances of up to several meters and aims at installing public "charging spots" on the streets in order to enable easy charging around the clock.

Products incorporating the new wireless charging system will be commercially available by early 2012 as stated by scientists at Fujitsu Laboratories though they did not mention anything about its cost. "This technology paves the way to integrating compact wireless charging functions into mobile phones and enabling multiple portable devices to be charged simultaneously without any restrictions on their position with respect to the charger," as the company was quoted by the Telegraph in a statement.

4 Free Apps For Discovering Great Content On the Go

1. StumbleUpon The granddaddy of discovering random cool stuff online, StumbleUpon will celebrate its 10th anniversary later this year — but its mobile app is less than a year old. On the web, its eight million users have spent the last decade recommending (or disliking) millions of webpages with a thumbs up / thumbs down system on a specially installed browser bar.

Device : iPhone , iPad , Android 2. iReddit Reddit is a self-described social news website where users vote for their favorite stories, pictures or posts from other users, then argue vehemently over their meaning in the comments section. In recent years, it has gained readers as its competitor Digg has lost them.

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i
