Palm has updated their blog today with a profile on Adam Kaufman, Product Manager for Palm Pre accessories including the new Touchstone inductive dock. You'll be surprised to find out that electric toothbrushes were the inspiration behind the new dock. It seems there are no metal contacts on the bottom of electric toothbrushes, yet they charge without a problem. To coin a phrase from Cupertino, this is a perfect example of a company thinking differently about their products. "If you can do that with a toothbrush, why not a phone".
In addition to introducing the Palm Pre, the company also introduced a few interesting Palm Pre accessories. The most notable being the Palm Pre Touchstone charging dock.
