It may look like a spiffy new hot plate for your dorm room, but the WildCharge does something even better than cook up some Mac n’ Cheese. Place any of your favorite portable electronic devices — cell phones, MP3 players, whatever — on the WildCharge and it’ll magically revitalize the battery found within, giving you several extra hours of juice.

I’m not exactly how it works and how safe it would be, but it certainly makes for quite an interesting gadget. Imagine going on vacation and not having to carry around fifteen different chargers for all your electronics, as they can all relax and lie down on the WildCharge to get the battery boost they need.

No word on price, but they’re planning a Q1 2007 launch. Here’s the official product page.
