hi I'm Jessica doll court for cnet here at Qualcomm's headquarters in San Diego and I'm in a demo a technology that is near and dear to my heart it's a wireless charging now Qualcomm calls this why power this is their particular solution and here's how it works just bear with me we've got a wireless charging pad right here on the table and imagine that this is something that's embedded underneath the surface like a conference table or a desk or it could even be embedded in it but probably underneath so this will represent our surface like a table we lay it on top of this charging area and then from there you can just take any device that is compatible with wireless charging and drop it anywhere on this area as long as it's within the target but it means that you don't have to carefully align it you can put it sideways and you can even use more than one device as long as it's compatible another really great attribute to this particular setup is that if you have other common household items especially if they're made of metal using other technologies they could really heat up make things really hot or even stop the wireless charging process but that isn't the case here so you have a couple different form factors that you can use one is the sort of tabletop charging device beneath a surface and another is something that stands straight up like this demo here for the tablet so we'll have more information for this at cnet com go check it out I'm tussock adult court
