WildCharge To Introduce Wire-Free Skins For BlackBerry® In The US

October 07, 2008 by Jeff Shepard

WildCharge Inc. announced the availability of its WildCharge Skins for the BlackBerry Pearl and Curve smartphones in the United States. The WildCharge Skins are durable, protective gel cases that have WildCharge’s wire-free power technology built-in. As such, the Skins help protect BlackBerry smartphones from scratches and impact damage. Once inserted inside a Skin, a BlackBerry device can be placed anywhere, and at any orientation, on the company’s award-winning WildCharger charging pad and instantly receive full wire-free power.

"WildCharge’s technology is more than a simple charging solution for mobile devices – it’s a revolution that will ultimately eliminate the array of tangled chargers, ac adapters and cords consumers regularly deal with," CEO Dennis Grant said while demonstrating a simultaneous charging of BlackBerry Curve and Pearl smartphones on the WildCharger pad. "In the near future, we expect our technology to offer true economical and environmental benefits by reducing the number of ac adapters in the household – ultimately reducing the standby electricity leakage from plugged-in but unused ac adapters."

Later this year, development partners, who are licensed through WildCharge’s Technology Partner Program, plan to introduce wire-free products for other popular consumer electronic devices.
