See below pictures:
1) underside of 3DS as taken by person who smuggled one off the line
2) high quality close up of the charging dock
If that black notch is not a conductor, and is just a piece of plastic that locks the device in place, then that would suggest that this is an inductive charger similar to the ones used for Palm Pre / WebOS phones, and various other third party chargers you can buy. The small panel near the bottom area of the device suggests to me that it might be an inductive charger as well.
The pros of such a charging device is that you merely have to put the device down to charge it. No finnicky wires to play around with... the main con is that it is usually longer to charge this way.
So my suggestion is this: might it be quicker to charge the 3DS via the AC Adaptor?
I would like someone to clarify if possible (with Nintendo) whether this is an inductive charging dock or a more traditional dock.
