I wonder if it ever will be possible to charge stuff over Bluetooth. I mean what is the difference between charging it over a cable instead of wirelessly. Does it use too much power when it is not attached by cable to charge.

I say get rid of all cables, wireless it is.:D

It looks like they are working on wireless charging. Here is link: http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/24/wipower-touts-breakthrough-in-wireless-power/#comments

Wireless power has been under development for years (as of now it's just an idea with nothing really working on this theory yet).

If they could ever successfully use that, I wonder if it could provide the complete power to the controller and eliminate the need for any type of battery to be in the controller. PS4 perhaps? haha
