Inductive charging pad

[mundyb]

Has anybody heard any information about when the induction charging accessories will be available? They have been in the VZW system since launch day.

I'm anxious to see how much they price it at.

I don't have any information as to when but after reading something on the XDA forums I found this on VZW's website.

Im very interested as I came from a Palm Pre + and I very must miss the inductive charging setup that phone had.

Will that work for extended battery?

Doesn't look like it. The back only seems big enough for the stock battery. Maybe they will make a special back for the extended but it doesn't look that way from the pictures.

I've been looking into this thing also becasue I really wanted one mostly for the convience of them but the guy at VZW showed me the pad. It's only as big as the phone so you can't charge multiple devices on one and it costs about $69.99 just for the pad. So the battery cover is $39.99 and the charging pad is $69.99. So I would pay approximately $110 each for three of these if everyone in my family wanted it. The guy also said it is only for the stock battery and the cover itself is designed to do the charging and doesn't require a different type of battery. I will be getting an extended battery for around $7 (25% discount + $30 VZW gift card) and then just get a case for it.
