Nokia has joined forces with Fatboy to create a wireless smartphone charging DT-901 Recharge Pillow for the new Lumia 920. This simple and easy to use docking system is intended to restore your Windows Phone 8 phone's battery just by placing it on top of the pillow.
The rechargeable pillows use a Qi platform to charge its devices, which means that the pillow will be compatible with other systems that use Qi programming. Nokia has also partnered with companies like Virgin Atlantic, Tea Leaf and Coffee Bean with the hopes of incorporating the DT-901 recharge pillow into cafe tables and Virgin lounges.
Fatboy is best known for its large colorful lounge pillows and this partnership is a great step forward in developing more wireless charging devices for our electronics.
