Inductive charging is a really great addition if it works well. All I need now is for it to come to the iPhone!

What about the weekend travel scenario? Instead of bringing a wire to charge your phone, you have to pack a charging station. Is that still worth not plugging in the phone?

The dock is optional. You can still use any 2€ micro USB cable to charge the Nexus 4.

If they don't invent it, they'll pull the "it was immature right until we did it in the iphone" play and then call it "AirPower" or something.

"Yeah you Android fanbois are jealous about that sweet AirPower technology, huh?" "Android has had it for two years now!" "Yeah... you're jealous."
