Today PureEnergy and T-Mobile announced that it will make an inductive charging accessory to the HTC myTouch 3G handset. The myTouch Drop and Go Charging Pad includes a new backplate for the myTouch 3G that when installed lets the device charge wirelessly when placed on the charging pad. It uses magnetic induction to transfer energy from the pad to the phone's battery. It works the same as Palm's Touchstone charger for the Pre and Pixi devices. The Drop and Go Charging Pad comes with three PowerDiscs which allow a wide variety of mobile phones and Bluetooth headsets to be charged. The custom backplate is for the myTouch 3G only. The charging pad will become available via T-Mobile retail stores in the coming weeks, pricing information was not disclosed.
