it is pretty similar to what Matias Duarte developed for palm devices.

Nokia is using the same tech for their lumia. so they should work on same chargers based on qi tech.

Yes. Magnets hold the phone in place.

Google's Wireless Charging Orb takes inspiration from the Touchstone in several other ways. As mentioned above, the phone sits at an angle on the dock — a feature that only works because both the dock and the Nexus 4 have magnets inside them — just like Palm Pre phones

pricing looks bad but is not unusual because they have been charging as much as 50 dollars for the official nexus dock!

I don't know much about phones but they do say magnets are bad for touchscreens..isn't that the case?

Why would anyone buy a blackberry z10 for 85000 rupees? It's eBay. People are free to put their own price tag 😀
