Charging phone using heat?!
-
I heard a rumour that induction charging is being resisted (no pun intended) by the phone manufacturers because it would be a generic charger that could do it, so they could not charge a premium for their chargers. (J'Accuse Pomme)

The last phone I bought did not have a charger with it (Galaxy Nexus). As you can use any charger with Mini USB to charge them. I can even use the one from my mouse to charge my phone. I don't now exactly about newer model but I thought the trend was going more in the direction of leaving the charger out. (and sell the phones a bit cheaper [citation needed]). So at least Android Phones use mostly generic chargers.

I think its only Apple that use a specific charger. I have a Nokia Lumia running Windows 7.8 and it uses a mini USB charger

Yeah. I believe most manufacturers are using Mini or Micro USB. So were at least down to two (excluding apple for minding its own business)

Samsung uses proprietary as well. Looks like mini USB, but is not.

My GS3 uses a generic charger, but my TAB2 is a OEM.

A friend sent me this today: http://youtu.be/9CCGUMkcbjg[^] pretty cool! I was wondering, when will our android device use heat of our hands to recharge it's battery?

Yep, excuse my generalization: I was relying on Galaxy1, GalaxyMini, Tab1. But I reckon I am living in the past. Anyway, good news that they change it !

My Samsung Epic 4G (Galaxy S) works fine with any mini-USB charger I've found so far. So do all of the other Samsung phones I've seen in use by friends.

That doesn't make sense when the majority of moby makers agreed to standardise on the mini-usb to do away with the need to have lots of different chargers.

Yes, because they were forced to by the EU. However the EU has not forced the Induction Charge Ubiquity through yet, so they are holding out for as long as possible in order to develop dissimilar standards in order to make money.

But... but... I thought you were against the evil EU autocrats who force people and companies to do things against the spirit of the free market :confused: Could it be... that CP's unofficial #1 EU-phobe is now feeling a smattering of gratitude towards the EU? :~
