PowerMat Wirelessly Charges Almost Any Device - Enter to Win a PowerMat Combo!

By Adam Zeis on 11 Dec 2009 11:55 am

[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ]

The PowerMat sets out to solve your charging dilemas. If you have multiple devices and chargers running rampant, you can hook up the PowerMat and "cut the cord". The wireless charging solution charges up to 3 devices at a time, all without the need for conventional wired chargers. You simply place down the PowerMat, plug it in (ironic right?), choose your weapon (aka wireless receiver or "PowerCube") and charge away. The PowerMat feature and array of wireless receivers (battery doors) for various devices that you simply snap on and you're done. Place the device on the PowerMat and it charges. Included is a PowerCube with multiple adapters for devices such as iPods, Nintendo DS and mirco USB. The PowerMat Portable Mat folds up into a neat travel case allowing you to take it anywhere, while the cleaner Home and Office Mat looks a bit nicer but isn't built for portability.

After playing around with the PowerMat for a few weeks, I honestly think it is more of a novelty for BlackBerry users than anything. Using a BlackBerry Charging Pod (at 1/4 of the cost) is a much easier solution with no additional accessories involved. The PowerMat requires either the PowerCube and adapter (which ultimately is the same as just plugging in your device) or a wireless receiver that will run you another $30 on top of the PowerMat price. That said, it is pretty cool. :)

Contest: We have one PowerMat Portable Mat bundle to give away. The bundle includes the portable mat, wireless receivers for the Bold 9000, Curve 8900 and Curve 83xx and the PowerCube with adapters. Just leave a comment on this post to enter. This contest will run through Sunday December 20th. Please only leave one comment - multiple entries won't count.

This thing is amazing...I need one

MidwestKevin25 Dec 11, 2009 at 2:49 pm

I use to think this was a great idea till I went to the store to check it out. You cant even use your device as it's charging.. As soon as you pick it up it's not charging anymore.. I'd rather stick to my cord.. Atleast I can use it while it's on the charger... Anybody Agree or Disagree??

bbcdm Dec 11, 2009 at 2:49 pm

I'm in

OMG!!! I have SO been waiting for this one. I don't care if it doesn't have the adapters for all the Berrys yet, I'd use the cube for my 9700 & 8520 til they do!!!! ANYTHING to help reduce the wires I have in my life. This is like a dream come true.

This would be awesome, there are some kinks to work out like allowing seamless integration with anything that uses a battery for power but induction is the wave of the future. Imagine one day buying a desk where the entire top is induction capable... laptops, mice, tables, blackberries, mp3 players, cameras all charged without wires!!!
