As I suspected the first reactions to be (not yours, wetdogeared).

What's interesting is this: In other cases where there were such passionate (though not always backed up with evidence) concerns about such an issue, the conveniences presented to the public are often enough to push them over the edge, beyond their concerns, to buy into an idea anyway. Will that be enough to push most people over in this case?

As for the price, as wetdogeared alluded to: That's one of those incentives companies can use to push a technology: If it cost less to buy a charge pad than a plug-in charger, or if one pad replaced multiple chargers, would you buy one?

If it cost no more than wiring a newly-built house to have charging loops installed in the walls or floors, would you?
