iPhone 4S, Meet The Palm Touchstone Inductive Charger

Posted on October 17, 2011 by Roger

It’s obviously very early on and very cumbersome, but I have successfully got my new iPhone 4S to charge from my old Palm Pre’s Touchstone inductive charger. I may not be using WebOS anymore (sadly), but the spirit of my Pre lives on. My goal is to bundle this up in a nice package that can be easily added to an iPhone 4 or 4S, and look good doing it. I’ll post updates when I’m closer to that goal.

    Do want!
    I’m still using my Pre2 but have no choice to leave it.I’m fairly skilled at hackery, I see you’ve got a couple resistors there… care to share?
    Also any presence detect on apples proprietary dock connector?

    Dan, I’m pretty sure if you look at the breadboard you’ll see that the two data lines are actually shorted together since that’s the path of least resistance, therefore the resistors aren’t doing anything. They would be doing something though if each data line was independent of each other.
