Nokia working on wireless charging

HATE wires? Finnish mobile maker Nokia is reportedly working on a new set of Lumia-branded smartphones that can be recharged without plugging in a power cable and can connect wirelessly with accessories via NFC (near field communication).

Marko Ahtisaari, head of design at Nokia, told the Guardian that the Windows Phone-powered devices will ship without the “flip-up plastic tab that presently covers the microUSB charger for the phone — one of just two moving parts on the Lumia 800 phone.”
