- battery recharges via wireless.
This seems to be the panty-dropper for me. I am unable to understand how this works and why more wireless devices don't charge like this..........................?!?! (can someone link an article to this technology? I have google'd but am unable to find much other than "hey amazon has this new product. here are the specs (regurgitate website).")

There are two potential systems I have heard of. One requires the device to have some metal points on the back, and is currently available for the RAZR:

The other uses magnetic induction and also requires a special adapter, but is not yet available:

I'm not sure which the Kindle uses, but I'd bet on the first. The key, to me, for wireless charging would be a universal format. That way, I could charge all my devices on the same mat. If I need a different unit for each device, it isn't that much of an advantage.
