I had a friend who went to the Consumer Electronics Symposium (CES) in Vegas and they had created a kitchen or something like that with a wireless power grid. None of the appliances had power chords. You just set them on the counter and they run. I'm sure we won't see a consumer friendly model for a little while, but it's nice to know that something like this is on the way.

We may see consumer friendly models sooner than you think. They have already developed charging pads that allow you to simply place your electronics on a pad to recharge. There is one called WIldCharge that seems to be leading the pack. The main problem devices like this have however, is that no standard has been developed that battery makers have to abide by to be compatible with these devices.
So the technology is there, but it is up to battery makers and the charging pad companies to come to some sort of agreement about the best way to make this mainstream. Until then, you'll have to stick often bulky adapters on your gadgets to get them to work.
