Intel CTO Rattner: Wireless Power Likely to Produce Devices that Run Infinitely (futureofgadgets.com)

Beyond running infinitely, this plus the memristor work that HP is doing would also lead to a great deal of miniaturization of consumer electonics as well. The two technologies together would lower required memory consumption; and the removal of the need for batteries in a lot of devices would also greatly help shedding weight and size.
