judgecorp writes "Wireless charging has had little success so far (except for toothbrushes) but Google is giving it a good try, with a Nexus Wireless Charger that works with LG's Nexus 4 and 5 as well as the latest version of Google's tablet, the second generation Nexus 7. The charger operates using the Qi standard, which seems to be ahead of rival Powermat."

    After sitting for 5 days in a container of rice, it powered back up without issue.

    Leaving your phone in rice will attract Asians, who will fix your phone for you.
