Verizon-branded Galaxy S III wireless charging kit starts showing up at retail stores...

		Back when we met the Galaxy S III for the very first time, Samsung promised a wireless charging solution would be coming soon to its sleek and potent slab. Unfortunately, Sammy's power-boosting companion's been hit by hapless delays that have prevented it from seeing the light of day. Now, thanks to a few recent shots from Phone Arena, it looks like at least some S3 owners could see a bundle in the near future, albeit not the official one from the Korean outfit. According to the site's kind tipster, Verizon's allegedly pricing the charging station at $50, while the rear case is expected to be around $40 -- making it nearly $90 for the entire kit. Naturally, this could change at any given moment, but hey, at least we know it's out there.

That's what I was thinking. This stuff is way over-priced. It shouldn't cost more than $30 for the charging base and the rear case together.

to me this is not wireless charging... i dont want to put that wack[..] verizon case on my phone to charge..and when im done i gotta take that off. i had the wireless charging pad for a mytouch before and sometime i forgot to take the case off when left the house and had that gay !! on for the day.

wireless charging should be like bluetooth(IMO). they need to figure out how to bluetooth electricity

why cant they just make bluetooth chip that plugs into the charging port on your phone? it could stick out a tiny bit, or be like one of buttons where you push it and it pops out some so you can remove it? Then you would sit it on pad and it would charge? makes sense to me...

[pic][pic][pic]you know what...thats a great idea..nice simple and sleek.. you should email a big company about that.. tell you have new idea for charging that would eliminate the need for a cord and you would like to talk to the creative/production department [pic][pic][pic]
