Power Mat - Review

Sick of trailing wires from your ten different chargers?

This technology has been around for years, indeed it's probably in your homes already. Your electric toothbrush and possible your kettle uses magnetic inductive charging which is the same tech found in the PowerMat.

Having the ability to charge 3-6 devices at the same time with only one plug socket being used has got to be the ultimate in clean living.

Above is the foldable travel mat, Power Mat USA seem to have cornered the market here, being able to charge most of the major mobile phone handsets, except Nokia and Sony-Ericcson, iPod, PSP, DS and your sat nav, it will even recharge AA+AAA batterys.

So will i be buying one?.... Yes, but not yet. The reason being?....

A; £60 for the home version £70 for the travel mat

and

B; Its not just a simple case of throwing your Blackberry and iPod on the mat, Everything needs adapting,

Weather it be a charging dock, a battery case or a power cube, ALL of which will cost you extra, and if i'm honest i can just tidy up after myself until the product improves and the price becomes more realistic.
