Gadgets freed of binding cables
Mobile phones, laptops and other battery-powered devices for today's mobile workforce all have at least one shortcoming: They need to be recharged.

The innovation is just one of many wireless products and other gizmos that will be displayed at the show, which last year drew more than 150,000 people.
