Splashpower can’t wirelessly recharge bank account, declares bankruptcy

We’re never going to give up the dream of wireless charging, but it looks like the high costs of developing the technology plus the battle to build it into portable devices has claimed early wireless pioneer Splashpower. We’ve been following the company since 2004, but we never really saw any commercial-ready products emerge from its labs, while companies like WildCharge and eCoupled have managed to at least produce demo-quality gear. Here’s hoping an interested investor picks up what’s left of the R&D and runs with it.
