Those that keep their chargers plugged into the wall should take note, as AT&T is working on an accessory that pulls no energy when not in use. Partnering with Superior Communications, the Zero Charger will stop using energy as soon as the device is unplugged. The company won't specify which phones it will be marketed towards at this time, but AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel said that it was designed for the carrier's major smartphones. Given the USB interface, I'm guessing that AT&T will sell the base and additional cables depending on the customer's needs.
The AT&T Zero charger will be available at AT&T stores and online beginning in May. Pricing is unknown at this time. Good step for AT&T! Will everyone else follow suit? Time will tell...
