Nexus 4 Wireless Charging Orb Now Available

We’ve been waiting for the wireless charging orb for the Nexus 4 to hit the Google Play Store, today is your lucky day. Google has finally listed the accessory in the Google Play Store, and you can walk away with it for just $60. With it, you’ll be able to prop your Nexus 4 up in horizontal or vertical orientation and have your device charge just as effectively as it would via USB.

There’s not much else to the thing aside from its ability to charge your phone and make it look good at the same time, but the convenience of being able to plop your phone down without having to fiddle around with flimsy USB connections is a treat.

LG Denies Nexus 4 Supply Issues

Buying a Nexus 4 from the Google Play store has been nearly impossible since the device first launched in early November. A while back, Google described the supply of Nexus 4 handsets from LG as “scarce and erratic,” but an LG company official spoke with South Korean newspaper, Chosun Ilbo, to set the record straight.

The LG official claims the “Nexus 4 has been produced without a hitch” and that “there is no problem in supply.” This leads us to believe that Google simply underestimated demand for the Nexus 4. The LG official also commented on the recent rumors that LG has halted Nexus 4 production to “focus on the development of its future offerings” saying that they were completely “unfounded.”

For now, it’s impossible to know if or when Google and LG will resolve the supply issues which have plagued the Nexus 4. If you’re still hoping to get your hands on the Nexus 4, your best bet will most likely be your local T-Mobile store.
