Want to wireslessly charge your wireless charger? Err.. you can.

A bit confusing this one, but stick with me. Made by Nokia, the DC-50 isn’t a Dyson, but a portable wireless battery pack. Like other battery packs, you charge it up and then, when your phone is running low on go-go-juice, you connect it up anywhere for a …
