You then place it on your desk, or other flat surface, place your cell phone on top of it, and the cell phone charges. That’s it. You don’t have to plug in your phone, and the WildCharge is perfectly safe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how does it work? Why, magic of course. That’s really the only possible explanation. I certainly can’t place my phone near an outlet, and it suddenly starts charging itself, so why should this be any different? Except it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granted, right now, it’s only available for the Motorola Razr V3, but it can charge five of them at a time. FIVE. You know, for the whole family? Of wizards?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An iPod version should be coming soon, but I wouldn’t buy it, because you’ll be branded as a witch, and burned at the stake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;[$90, &lt;a href="https://www.wildcharge.com/index.cfm?CFID=6467389&amp;amp;CFTOKEN=69771358"&gt;WildCharge&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=82253" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/modernmaterialist/archive/tags/gadgets/default.aspx">gadgets</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/modernmaterialist/archive/tags/phones/default.aspx">phones</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/modernmaterialist/archive/tags/Magic/default.aspx">Magic</category></item></channel></rss>
