Works for my toothbrush, why not?

Sonicare toothbrushes (teethbrushes?) can already do this, and there are a few other bathroom-type things (elec. razors) that have this capability. This allows the items themselves to be sealed, so you can drop it in the sink, etc. without destroying it.
Lights on ThinkGeek have this

What we need more of is science!
MobileWise has a similar product.
I saw both of these reviewed on TechTV because they were at the CES show a couple of months back.
They seem pretty cool but I really do not want to see the pricetag.
