I'm talking about Qi2 certification, the introduced at CES more than two years ago that has yet to gain widespread market adoption due to material costs, lack of user demand, and other reasons, according to brands. While the attempts to circumvent the lack of in-body magnetic adapters are admirable, Google has the perfect opportunity to correct the situation and truly open up an accessory ecosystem that rivals the iPhone.
