This would surely be something that we will all look forward to in 2011, the new wireless power transferring technology from Murata. Using field-coupled wireless power transmission, this new tech is able to supply power to devices wirelessly. By simply placing them on the digital charger without any need for power cords or physical connections, electronic devices can be rejoiced wirelessly. How this will affect most lithium batteries is still a mystery to be unfolded. This will surely be the future of all electronic devices if researched well.

Anyway, yes the system will record your driving style, and forward any information regards of any accidents that (touch wood) happened to the police and insurance company. I guess there’s no more escaping when you’re drinking, driving and didn’t signal your car.

This entry reminds me of when I’m in my uni, where there are 2 units of 5-grand Canon photocopiers on each floor in the whole building.

I guess now we can’t even think of hacking it.

Anyway, LG is getting ready 2 Optimus phones, the ‘One and the ‘Chic’. There’s no spec out yet, so we don’t really know much the difference between them. All we know is, they’re having Android 2.2 Froyo as lunch.
