We all have a specific place where we drop our keys and phone at the end of the day. What if the bowl we dropped them into charged them up for us?

Intel has plans for just that. Sneaked in among the several new innovations the company showcased at its 2014 CES keynote address was a smart wireless charging bowl.

You dump your phone, iPod, earpiece, Fitbit or any other gadget that needs a charge into it and - boom! - pick it out a while later and it's fully charged.

No more wires. No more jacks. No more plugs and sockets.

Your gadgets go into the bowl (probably with a bunch of other non-tech junk too) and voila! They're charged.

But don't get too excited yet. Right now, the Intel charging bowl pairs only with Intel's newly announced smart headset.

However, the company plans to expand it to accommodate a wider array of devices, including phones, tablets, and Ultrabooks.

For now, Intel's smart headset will charge automatically as soon as you drop it into the wireless bowl.

While it’s not a new idea, Intel’s approach is both elegant and efficient

The bowl and stand measure approximately 10 inches in diameter and utilize magnetic resonance technology, which is the basis of recent A4WP innovations.

It's a technology that makes it possible to charge multiple devices simultaneously without precise placement.
