About the Author

Who is Nexus Publishing? Originally from a small town called Darlaston – about ten miles north of Birmingham – I moved to West Sussex about ten years ago to help develop one of the first online retailers. Having recently moved to Shropshire I am now enjoying the working from home life in a semi rural location. I have been a freelance writer and journalist for about fifteen years. Eight of them were spent doing various other jobs such as bookshop assistant, print finisher and returns clerk for a large library supplier, with the writing taking up evenings and any of my spare time. As you can see, much of my life so far has been spent working with books and publishing of one kind or another. My time as an employee came to a conclusion some six years ago with redundancy, so I took the opportunity – and the money – to see if I could survive as a full-time freelance writer. That was five years ago. There have been some lean times – just ask my wife, Joanne. But after tasting the freelance life, there’s no going back.

WildCharge

How many times have you lost your mobile phone charger over the last year? If like me you’re always misplacing it, the WildCharge is just what you and I have been waiting for.

The WildCharge site describes this innovative device: ‘Once you enable your cell phone with WildCharge, you will be able to charge the phone by placing it on any WildCharger pad that is connected to a power source; this regardless of where the pad is – at home, work, or abroad. The charging pad is, in fact, universal in this regards; any cell phone, music or video player or other mobile device we enable can be charged on any pad, and any pad can charge any enabled mobile device.

‘Initially, WildCharge is introducing adapters for the very popular Motorola RAZR V3 cell phones. During Winter 2007/08, we will introduce adapters for iPod nano 2G music players, and soon thereafter adapters for RIM BlackBerry smart phones and multiple other devices.’

It’s a superb idea realised in a great product. Any iPhone owners out there will also soon be able to use the device to keep their beloved handsets fully charged. If you’re in the UK you can pick up your WildCharge from FireBox.
