    The problem is that you STILL have to plug your device into something for it to interact with the PowerMat. While it's not a cabled plug, it is a "case" or snap-on element that most people won't want on all the time anyways.

    The technology isn't that new anyways. My Sonicare toothbrush charges the same way. The cradle and brush have no metal connections and it begins charging (slowly) when it's near the cradle.

    Maybe someday the devices will have built-in wireless charging units so that the mats can be used alone. But, I don't believe the solution is a 3rd party element.

    • i have that brush, always tripped me outscarabin
    • likewise on the brush. Ive often thought about why we havent seen it applied elsewherebaseline_shift
    • I think because it's terribly slow. Apparently PowerMat actually increases the speed. Who knows...monospaced
