This is an interesting topic. There are students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is working on the future where people can now charge their Pocket PC or either and other moblie device without using a single wire. They are going to use wireless technology to transfer power. This will be a major breakthrough no more wires needed to charge the moblie devices. This will eleminate cable charging for Pocket PC's and moblie devices alltogether. Maybe even eleminate the use of battries. Imagine Pocket PC's without battries how thin will it be. 
The team members are Andre Kurs, Aristeidis Karalis, Robert Moffatt, Prof. Peter Fisher, and Prof. John Joannopoulos (Francis Wright Davis Chair and director of ISN), led by Prof. Marin Soljacic. The image of the team is on the right.
They have proven that it is possible. They have managed to light a 60watts light blub using a power source about 7 feet away without any physical connection to the light blub. They are refering this concept as "WiTricity" which means wireless eletricty.
