Wireless charging

It was about a year ago at a Silicon Valley tech conference when domestic doyenne Martha Stewart voiced the frustration felt by everyone who’s ever been confounded by a preponderance of electronic device charge cords.

Stewart, founder of Martha Stewart Omnimedia (MSO), pointedly asked Sony (SNE) Chief Executive Howard Stringer why the power-charging cord for one device couldn’t be swapped for the cord of a different, comparable gadget. “Why can’t that thing be this thing?” she asked Stringer, brandishing an array of chargers, cords, and components.
