Wireless charging in your pants? Yes, coming soon

Microsoft has figured out a way of making wireless charging readily available wherever you go. While that may sound futuristic, it actually is far from it in fact. All you need is the right pair of pants.
Microsoft has teamed up with British designer A. Sauvage to bring the convenience of wireless charging in the "Modern Man" trousers, which are part of "London Collections". The technology bit is achieved by making (clever) use of the Nokia DC-50 wireless charging plate, which is based on the popular Qi standard.
 That means that not only can you charge Nokia-branded Lumia Windows Phones, but a bunch of other smartphones as well (heck, even tablets, as long as they fit inside the pocket) like the Google Nexus 5 and LG G3.

Oh, most definitely Daniel, I agree; they must be twins!
 
Although I must admit that the guy on the left sorta, kinda resembles Gallagher! :S
