launchportiPort, a custom in-home installation company that specializes in iOS-product mounts and controllers, has brought inductive charging to its iPad lineup.

The Launchport is a three-part system comprising of a PowerShuttle case for the iPad 2, a desktop inductive charger and stand called the BaseStation, and a in-wall charger and mount called the WallStation. The video below shows how the system works.


iPort's products are designed for whole-home installation and control of audio and other systems. The company partners with high-end control providers like Crestron and AMX. Crestron has a very powerful iOS app for control of their advanced whole-home control systems.

The iPort LaunchPort will be available later this year, with the PowerShuttle case for $149 and the wall and desk mounts for $199 each.

Articles such as this which pique the thoughts towards utilitarian roles for robotic applications. It's the future. A future industry that's gonna be bigger than Apple.

One step at a time until someday, … Murgatroyd will live!

Thanks.
