Wildcharge, the device that lets you wirelessly charge your RAZR, has just released new adapters for the iPhone, iPod, BlackBerry Pearl, BlackBerry 8800 and 2nd Gen iPod Nano. It still works the same: put the adapter on the back of your phone, place your phone onto the charging pad and wait for the juice to flow. No pricing information on this quite yet, but the old RAZR chargers were $34 (or $89 for the pad and the charger together). [WildCharge]

Wireless WildCharger for RAZR and iPod Nano Coming This Month

WildCharge has finally announced their first production unit—the Motorola RAZR. For $89.99, you get the starter bundle including charging pad and phone adapter. The adapter is really a back plate replacement for the RAZR that has a "charging arm" that plugs into the phone. In other words, wires are involved, just not between the charging pad and the phone itself. Expect sales to being sometime this month, possibly tomorrow if they are on schedule. The second device to be produced by WildCharger will work with the iPod Nano. More »

WildCharge Charges Your Gadgets Without Wires

Instead of having to plug in your devices to power them up, WildCharge's gadget is just a plate that charges anything placed on it.
