New Gadget Will Synchronise Your iPhone or iPod Wirelessly

By Jesus Diaz on June 2, 2009 at 5:00 AM

Soon you will be able to synchronise your iPhone or iPod touch to your PC or Mac, using a low power chip from Alereon. The new device—a reference design to be used by third-party manufacturers—is small and have a built-in battery that will supply electricity to the iPhone while it’s synchronising with iTunes without any cable. Then again, you will need a cable to recharge the battery, which begs the question: Is there any real advantage of synchronising wirelessly when you will need a cable anyway at one point or another?


I can’t wait for a new Nicola Tesla to come and bring to use actual wireless power. [i4u News]

    My iPhone charges in the car via USB to the head unit, so wireless syncing at home could be useful.

    Or even better wireless connectivity in the car and charging in the dock at home, never know :p
