Add a little art-deco, some solar panels, and a special battery and starts inductively charging devices. Panasonic is releasing a small charging table, which looks like something that belongs at a coffee shop, sometime this year in Japan. The key to this table, no need for 3rd party adapters and accessories. The inductive charging coupling circuit will be built into the battery. Place a phone on the table, it will charge. Place a bare battery on the table, it will also charge. Panasonic may produce batteries for the world's most popular phone to work with their table, and the tech may be licensed out. The solar panels allow the table to be moved anywhere. However, in most cases outdoor tables have umbrellas over them. However, some indoor light energy could be recovered by these tables.
The table was demonstrated at the Retail Tech Expo in London. Another example of the new environmental conscious Japan.
