I’m a huge fan of wireless charging. With my Nokia Lumia 920, I’ve been able to experience wireless charging via a simple pad that sits on a desk and even better: the JBL PowerUp that charges my Lumia while playing music. I spotted this video over the weekend, in which a person took an IKEA…
In addition to writing here, I’m also the U.S. Editor at Nokia Conversations, Nokia’s main corporate blog and the 4th most read corporate blog in the world, according to Technorati.
