Palm PRE’s Unique Charging System


The new Palm PRE can be charged wire-free.  The hockey puck looking device in the picture above is called the Palm Touchstone charging dock.  The dock is attached to your computer, and the PRE is placed on top of the dock.  The magnets inside the dock align the phone so it is in the correct position for charging.  The PRE is still fully functional while it is charging.  All I can say is less wires is always a good thing.  In addition to purchasing the Touchstone, you will also need to purchase a special back cover for the PRE for everything to work.  No word on pricing.

I would think there would be, but the only accessories I've seen so far are the puck, and a leather case. Plus, I also didn't see a pic of the bottom of the device to see if the traditional charging port is there. I hope it is, because I've collected a few car and wall chargers over the years.

I did a little more digging, and it looks like the PRE can be charged via micro USB. They also have a car charger listed on palm.com

Is there also a more traditional charging solution? Or do you have to lug this giant hockey puck thing with you everywhere you go?? :)
