Would you pay $70.00 for a mobile phone charger? Well apparently Palm thinks so, the Palm Pre TouchStone Kit has appeared in the Best Buy inventory management system priced at 70 big ones. To be fair, the TouchStone Kit is somewhat of a technological marvel - it wirelessly charges your Pre through the use of a magnetic induction charger.
Will most people end up forking up $70 to eliminate a wire? Probably not - so lets just hope a much cheaper wired option will still be available. It’s also worth mentioning that some other accessories were spotted in the Best Buy inventory as well including 3 acrylic cases, a leather case, and a case simply labeled “Palm Pre Case”.

It’s already been confirmed that the Pre is coming with a regular wall-mounted charger. This same one hooks up to the TouchStone. The TouchStone just exists as a fancy accessory, it’s not mandatory.
I have the touchstone. Love it! so much easier than pluging into wall charger. I see no downside to it at all
