The Perfect Thew Device

Such was the subject line on a missive that arrived in my inbox today from my long-time friend and illustrious creator of Big Trendy. Contained therein was a link: http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/10/06/iyo-induction-iphone-charger/, with accompanying text "this is my submission for the perfect piece of Thew technology."

Ok. You win. This is almost enough to make me want to buy an apple product. I'm not a big fan of apple. Their closed DRM is worse than all the evils of Sony and Microsoft combined. But being able to charge my iphone with a yo-yo!? That would be the ultimate in geek awesomeness. Now if only someone would invent a yo-yo powered bicycle...

All I can say is wow. This really is you. Can you rig it to charge your giant iPod? Don't know if you heard, but dad's computer is KAPUT so they're feeding the beast and getting a new one.
