Yeah, because the mats can be used for multiple phones/devices (certainly at home) and the convenience would be great.

The N900 battery.. well let's admit it, sucks. It doesn't last more than a day, so I believe I speak for everyone when I say that given the right price (and maybe a mAh increase) everybody would love to have one.

Does this mean that the inductive charging batteries designed for the 5800 won't work in the N900?

Yep, doesn't sound too bad. Of course the investment won't be entirely lost as it will keep on working if/when I give it away to someone as I usually do when I upgrade a phone, but that kind of assumes the rest of the world will have switched over to Qi technology which is by no means certain.
And I refuse to believe people here would balk at spending a couple hundred bucks over 3 years - how much have people spent on their N900s already?
That would be lovely - in the meantime I'd rather buy something that's here and now. I doubt anything from Qi will materialise this year and probably not next either.
N900 power management consists almost entirely out of off the shelf components from Texas Instruments
TWL4030 "Gaia" energy management chip
bq24150 battery charger
bq27200 fuel gauge (used minimally by maemo)
The software seems to correct itself eventually if battery states change behind its back. The battery meter freezes at some point until the value it froze at is closer to what seems like something closer to the truth. So it'd probably be possible to charge the battery directly behind N900's back, and only have a confused meter as result. Who cares if it goes "boing Battery Low *boing boing*" 12 hours before dying?
