Besides my addiction to fashion I have an addiction to technology. Not the iRobot kind but the iMac kind, great functional technology that’s not scary. So last night I came across the Powermat, it does exactly what the name states. It’s a mat that powers things, wirelessly that is. With the Powermat you can charge your devices wirelessy. How does it work? Simple really. You plug in the mat, put your phone in a case and sit it on top of the mat. If you need to charge a laptop simply use a disk with a usb cord and you’re done. Since our devices aren’t pre-loaded with the receiver the docks/cases are needed to charge the devices. But the receiver can be embedded into any device, and once thats done you simply need to place it on the mat and the device will begin receiving power. The Powermat uses (RFID technology) so it simply powers off once the item you are charging is done, thereby conserving energy. The Powermat will be released by the end of 2009 and will retail for $100 and $30 per disk/case.

The Powermat technology can be built into walls and counter tops. Soon you will be able to power your TV without cords, or charge your phone by simply putting it in a specific spot on your desk. For more information the on the Powermat click here to visit their site.
