They make a wireless charging case for the iphones and ipod touches. Basically it's a case that goes over the phone and allows you to set the phone / ipod on a "charging mat" which come in a few different shapes and sizes. I picture using one of these on a end table, and just always returning the ipod touch to that mat when not in use. Another option is to buy a docking station, very similar to how the controller docs. This is how I'm currently charging mine, I just return it to the dock. You can find some pretty good prices on docks at dealextreme http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.31705 I'm currently using this one with an ipod touch 2g and a 1g (both can be found used for under $100) I did have to use a dremmel tool to make the ipods fit in this dock since it's designed for a iphone which is a little different size, however that site offers docks that will work without modifications, I just needed on that shape and size to mount on the wall. -- zimmer62 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zimmer62's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79960 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
