Either TI has the hots for
Arduino in a big way, or its latest
wireless charging kit isn't quite ready for mass production. When it does arrive, however, it promises to do away with those cumbersome specialized sleeves and back covers that are currently needed for inductive charging. Instead, it'll deliver efficient in a package that's small enough to be installed as part of a device's internal circuitry. In addition to the
Qi-standard 5W version we
glimpsed a while back, the company is also working on a 10W variant for the iPad 2 and other tablets, which could wipe the smile off
LaunchPort's face and perhaps make
MicroUSB 3.0 superfluous before it even gets here.
