there are a few wireless chargers available now, that kiss product is quite interesting though. Does it charge everything and anything? and what kind of surface will it connect to?

PM if this is offtopic.

I also looked into the powermat charger here. Again this is ultra low power adn the device actually needs to rest on the mat to charge but still the same technology.

I had not heard much about this before, besides the very small scale applications. This tech will be revolutionary. Amazing work indeed.

Our first product charges handheld devices such as mobilephones, MP3, cameras, Netbooks etc. Next product (Q2 2010) will also charge laptops etc.
The product can be integrated into furniture, for example tables and chairs.

That's not really the same tec. Having to use contact pads doesn't = wireless.

How safe would long-term exposure be for humans/ animals?

sure it is, no electrical contact is made, just like with a toothbrush. It is plastic to plastic, no direct electrical conductivity.
