Yeah, it's pretty lame. There are already cordless blenders

be connected to the internet. Another solution in search of

What's lame about it? Seems to be a pretty innovative application of
inductive power transfer that is already in use with electric
toothbrushes and cellphones.

If you have no need for the new technology then this doesn't affect you,
unless you just like complaining because it is new.

toothbrushes and cells are pretty low power, and that's used for
charging. seems to me that a blender will require a much higher power
transfer, unless the blender is also just being charged and has internal
batteries. in that case, it won't be as powerful for as long as a corded
blender.
