    I think that most people are missing the fact that it gives you a car's cigarette lighter for your home. It's already one of, if not, the most widely adopted power sources in the world by the mere fact that it's in every car in the world. There are very few things you can't plug into one of those things. I think that's the real value to this thing. AND you get a USB port too? Very cool! #scoschepowerfuze

    @Lizard_King: I'm specifically thinking of iPod FM transmitters that could come in handy if you have a radio without an iPod input. But I'm sure there are other things you can use it for. #scoschepowerfuze

    @Bustout: yeah, I actually had a wall wart with a cigarette lighter jack that I used sometimes for charging batteries for my camera. I had the house charger, and a car charger, and with this wall wart I could charge both at once. #scoschepowerfuze

    Just to clarify, that third picture shows that you can plug it into the wall, and theoretically, use a car socket out? Because I've been looking for that for a while. I was going to build one, but I've been so lazy--er...busy, lately, lol... #schoshepowerfuze

    methane is not methanol. But they're both highly flammable and sort of dangerous, so they have that going for them.

    Also, I have a feeling that if you have to buy cartridges of methanol, there will be a market for methanol cartridge refills, just as there is an ink cartridge refill market. #toshibafuelcell

    Induction charging is terribly inefficient. Does it really make all that much sense, given the state of our economy and of global climate change?

    @Lukasz Fabis: Ironically, there's a wire between the wireless charger and the goddamn wall.

    This is amazingly useless. I mean... really, astonishingly useless.

    @Pope John Peeps II: I assume you aren't ignorant enough to assume that somehow wireless means magic. In other words... yeah, it has a wire to plug the pad in, and uses magnetic induction to transfer power to the device without a wire. It isn't running on fairy dust and unicorn sprinkles.

    @Pope John Peeps II: Of coarse there is a cord to the wall, it doesn't send electricity flying through the air Tesla style.

    "Amazingly useless"? Does it not charge your device? Call me crazy, but if it charges my phone how exactly is it "useless"? Overpriced for sure, but useless? nah

    @Kelly Adams: Are you HIGH? Are you DUMB? What's the purpose of this? Sure it's "wireless", but you have to put your phone in EXACTLY this spot and LEAVE IT THERE.

    IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME AS PLUGGING IT IN. BUT VASTLY MORE INEFFICIENT AND EXPENSIVE. THIS IS THE HEIGHT OF USELESS.

    And the fact is that it's hardly an aesthetic marvel, because in the end you STILL have a cord to hide!

    I'd rather just build myself a Mintyboost. [www.adafruit.com]

    It's cheaper, though it has the occasional device compatibility issue. Plus, I find it more satisfying if you construct it yourself.
