So, apparently there are two players in the wireless power game...the way I see it breaking down (and easiest to understand) is that Duracell is against Energizer. Now, I will say I do not understand the technical differences...if any...so if these two work together, this isn't an issue, but I understand it is a battle (ala HD-DVD vs. BluRay)
Duracell is in camp with the PMA Standard. Power Matters Alliance; Powermatters - AT&T, Google, Starbucks Back
Energizer is in a camp with the QI Standard. Wireless Power Consortium Members - Wireless Power Consortium - Wireless Power Consortium
As we all know...Nokia is including the QI Standard on their newer phones. All fine and dandy.
And then new information, AT&T has signed on with a bunch of other players on the PMA Standard, and rolling that out to starbucks and such.
BUT, we also know Nokia is in deep with AT&T too! How does this affect anything? Anyone have any answers? Something has to give on this...you can't have two people working together and both also supporting rivals.
Anyone know anything I am missing?
