WildCharge Inc., a company revolutionizing electric power delivery to mobile devices with its safe, wire-free electric power technology, had its WildCharger charging pad honored with the International Consumer Electronics Show 2008 BEST OF INNOVATIONS AWARD. The Award, given in the Portable Power Category, was presented to the company by the Consumer Electronics Association.

“This is a further validation of our technology and products and recognition from the industry that the wire-free power revolution is here, with WildCharge its leader” WildCharge President Izhar Matzkevich, PhD, said. “Charging and powering a mobile device is now as simple as placing it on a table.” Matzkevich notes that “our technology's universal applicability, simplicity, versatility and low cost have sparked great interest from electronic, automobile, furniture and other manufacturing industries. Leading companies in these industries are currently preparing to embed WildCharge technology in their products to be offered to consumers worldwide in the near future.”

Mitch Randall, the company’s founder and Chief Technology Officer, adds that “With the recent introduction of our first products, we made a step towards eliminating the need for consumers to regularly lug around multiple bulky chargers, adapters and cords for every battery-powered mobile device they carry, or to struggle with congested outlets and power strips.” Randall advises that “our products offer true environmental benefits. By eliminating the need for each device to use its own wall plug, our products reduce standby electricity drain when devices are not actually plugged in. Our products further minimize the need to dispose of used AC adapters and chargers when consumers upgrade to newer models of mobile devices, as they regularly do.”
