Google's Nexus 4 Wireless Charger Not Available in UK
Google's Play Store isn't just about apps. The online market also sells phones, tablets, and accessories for Nexus-brand devices. This week, the Play Store welcomed another Nexus accessory, this one for the Nexus 4's wireless charging capabilities.
First shown off at the Nexus 4 launch in November, the Nexus 4 Wireless Charger is just now hitting the Google Play Store. The Qi inductive charger features an angled surface so you can still keep an eye on your notifications while your phone charges on the desk. Other than that, it sort of resembles the doomed orb-like Nexus Q media player.
Unfortunately, while the device is priced at $49.99 in the United States, it hasn't made its way to the UK just yet. Not only is it no where to be seen in the UK Google Play Store, Google has yet to offer any indication as to when we might expect the orb charger to be available in the United Kingdom. Guess we'll have to find something else to gift to our Valentines this year.

Condsidering that the phone has LESS mobility and usability with the wireless charger than a traditional wired one, this particular wireless invention makes absolutely no sense.
