As long as the unit you set your device on has to be plugged in, you aren't really "wireless",
and you're still confined to a certain radius based on that cord length anyway…

1) You don't consdier a wireless router wireless because the router has to be plugged in, not to mention the devices which connect to your WiFi network need to be powered at some point?

2) What power option wouldn't be confined to a radius?

1) I don't have to set my laptop on my router - I can roam all around my home with it (or at any McDonald's or Starbucks, etc, whoopee!) effectively extending its convenience beyond any considerations of 'cord'...
2) effectively, solar - just kidding, 'none' is the answer, which is why I'm asking, why get all excited about inductive charging, when you're still effectively tied to that base?

The good news is that they will be able to take this experience and turn it into a killer Godzilla movie.

LOL
And, oooh, that just has so many excellent ad possibilities!

Can someone help me see the efficacy of this entire technology?

So, are the economies of space gained by removing the lightning or whatever connector from the equation,
really not counterbalanced by whatever internal receptors receive and convey the charge?
Or is the only real difference and benefit, closing that portal to incursion of moisture & dust?

After a successful rollout of wireless charging options from Samsung, 

"Successful"  =  "Doesn't explode"

It's a process...
