Sydney, AUSTRALIA – 15 March 2010 – Westwell today announced a new range of Olin wireless chargers for the Nintendo DS Lite and the Apple iPhone 3G and 3GS, to simplify charging electronic handheld devices.
Users simply sit their Nintendo DS Lite and Apple iPhone 3G or 3GS onto the charging pad and the device will charge fully in the same time as required by the device’s standard charger.
The Olin wireless chargers are designed for safety, with over/under voltage protection, short circuit protection and overcharge protection.
Michelle Jin, Executive Director for Westwell, said, “The Olin wireless charger range is designed to add simplicity to people’s lives, to enable users to live now. Wireless chargers mean you no longer have to hunt for the right charger, you don’t have the tangle of wires, or the worry of a power surge damaging your device. Simply drop your device onto the charging pad and leave it!
“The establishment of a universal wireless charging industry standard means the current range will soon be compatible with other electronic devices using the internationally accepted wireless charging standard, Qi, so you can use the same charging pad for multiple items. We will start to see this technology available for consumers at home, in the office, in the car, at restaurants and cafes, airports and hotels.”
