I have actually looked into this technology and I think it is beneficial but
there are still issues to consider.
For example, I own an I-Phone, and I
charge my phone at least twice a day. What would happen if I needed to use my
phone wallet in a dire emergency and the battery died? I would be stuck with no
way to pay for my purchase.
I actually wound up looking into this out of
curiosity and the problem has already been considered.
Places of interest
would have to have inductive charging zones, "which would enable wireless
re-charging of mobile devices either on or in the proximity of a charging
station built into various surfaces. In other words, surfaces in restaurants, on
trains, airplanes and anywhere that people are on the go, will be equipped with
inductive charging technology, keeping devices charging while idle."

Functional, yes- but I don't know if I like the idea of so
much radiation around me.
