I’ll admit it openly -- I’m a big fan of being able to charge my devices wirelessly, especially if it means I can reduce the amount of wire clutter in my home. Before the holidays, I got a chance to test out the Powermat, a device that allows you to charge up to three devices simultaneously and wirelessly.
As much as I liked what it could do, I did lament the fact that it wasn’t entirely a “wireless” solution because the mat itself needed to be plugged in and the included PowerCube connected to your device using a very short cable. Granted, there are cases for the iPhone, BlackBerry and Nintendo DSi, but those also cost $40-$50. All told, you’d have to splurge $200 to get the mat and use it to its fullest in charging three things at once.
