In a nutshell, inductive charging involves a surface that acts as the transmitter, with coils built-in underneath to transfer energy to a willing receiver.
Engineers have been particularly successful with inductive technology, in which a smartphone with an inductive receiver loop embedded into the device itself can be placed on a wireless pad and have its batteries fully replenished without the need for wires or an electrical connection.
However, your thought process is fundamentally flawed in its use of backwards, inductive reasoning, a form of logical progression that has been criticized since the Roman Empire.
That was the scene at one of Intel's Computex press events today, where the company demoed an interesting use of inductive resonant charging using a concept all-in-one PC and wireless keyboard.

Just back from a motor show in Yokohama, he says the Japanese are at least a year ahead of us - even experimenting with "inductive charging" where cars can be refuelled without a cable connection but by parking over a special plate.
OK, babe, it's a "marvel of inductive reasoning, " then, yes, I'm good at that.
Thicker than its CES-announced counterpart (by only 1.5mm, if the Fulton reps are to be believed), this Revolution features a Qi wireless charging-compatible back, which happens to go very nicely with a Verizon-branded inductive charging station.
So, perhaps we'll see HTC introduce a separate cover to make inductive charging possible.
