  • Fucking usless POS tech. Was thinking off getting this because my mini USB is kind of worn out a bit and hard to plug into. Come back to us when we don't need to use another device to plug into to recharge.

  • i would prefer every one of us buy solar power charger which better than this shit.

  • 2 years later..... i found a single mat with iphone case charger for 19 bucks at walmart.

  • whats that hp phone?

  • you need to plug alot more things to that "Powermat" that regulary plug your charger to your phone and to wall...

  • Holy fuck haha! Fucking genius! This makes life so much easier!

    In fact I was gonna kill myself but now that I seen this I wanna live!

  • @SICKJ0KER GREAT COMMENT EVER.

    

  • it cost 45 pounds on play.com  (uk)

  • This only come useful when you have like a zillion devices to travel with and the hotel that you going to stay don't allow power strips or you don't want to bring a ton of wall adapter with you.

  • Well. This is the most worthless thing I've seen in a while.

  • thats not even a good methood. Its easier to just plug it in to the wall!

  • ya.. they don't tell you you have to buy receivers for other electronics.....

  • but this is also a waste of time...yeah...its same as plugging and unpluuging the phones and have to keep that cuby things safe too.....and but its not better than our everyday life easy and simple charger. just plug and gooo...!

  • this is fucking wired

  • cool, but a waste of money.

  • biggest load of crock ever

  • your kidding, you don't just put the phone on the mat and that's it? you actually plug it in regardless? I thought it was just the phone itself on the mat. What a waste.

  • the only thing cool about this is the little sounds it makes when you put the frigin 300 attachments on it...that really it

  • What a useless waste of materials.

  • Thats it??

    They guy who made this is a retard!!!!

  • shit

  • that is no wireless, u still plug stuff in ffs. Useless

  • this is useless

  • how is that wireless... you still have to be in physical contact with something

    no difference

  • this is just a wasted of money,,,

  • Please don't buy this crap. I was really stupid to buy this because of all of my devices and I did not realize that you have to buy a dock for your ipod which is just extra money.Also, the little mini usb tip does not charge my ipad. You have to plug the ipad into the usb port in the back of the powermat which defeats the purpose of this device since it's supposed to be wireless. It's just a waste of money, too many pieces to keep up with and overall trash!! Save your money!!

  • Having the actual power-mat require a wire seems to defeat the purpose. Not buying this one.

  • wtf?

    what is the diference of having a cord connected to the phone and to the wall, or having a cord connected to the phone and to a wireless device??

  • Why would somebody want to use this in their right mind? Instead of plugging to this I'll just plug it to the wall.

  • Think about this technology we could use this for roads and power cars by electriciti or tables so that the back of your phone has the power mat thing so when you put it on the table its auto maticly charging!!! THINK PEOPLE THINK!!

  • though it was wirles

  • 100 dollar for this? i rather use that money to buy iphone battery extender

  • basically its a charger inside of a charger<_> so very retarded.

  • you must be really stupid to buy this one

    its a complete waste of money 

  • to me wireless is like if i was walking around in a room and it was charging not setting it on a pad sure it has no wires but even wires give more freedom with your device than this fucking piece of shit

  • this is worthless. This is just a charger. They should make a charger that just DIRECTLY charges a battery.

  • good product, does it work with the palm pre plus?

  • Thats stupid...

  • i use less wires if i use my ihome

  • RIDICULOUS PRODUCT. You put a dock on a dock? lol

  • Well if you want one cord going to the wall you could probably save some money and just get a power strip from the dollar store.

  • i don't get why you can't just charge the phones/ipods itself by laying it down?

  • So you've got to plug in to charge wireless....errrr

  • looks like a skateboard

  • Powermat $100 vs. power strip $3

  • Hmmm.... Unless you can just 'plop' the iPhone onto the mat without having to plug it in or even put it in another dock, this seems pointless

  • this is stupid it would of been cool if instead of the dimples u can place anywhere else like if 4 friends come over everyone can charge by placing their ipods anywhere on the mat

  • You only have to plug certain things in. He didn't show you (for some dumbass reason) that most of the items can be placed directly on the mat like that adaptor.

  • none for psp go.?

  • @asolis2121 and why would you buy a psp go or a powermat they both suck balls

  • what a rip off, they completely misslead you with the commercials.

  • it is not wireless in the sense that energy is being transmitted to it through air.... but the device being charged is not using a wire.. so technically, its "wireless"...

  • Useless senseless stuff...

  • @EpSlasH i agree with you it will take more power and "money" for the power away

  • Comment removed

  • not really wireless. it' be way cooler just to leave stuff on it and it will charge.

  • Looks more like a skateboard :)

  • this is so much more of a fail then i originally thought its not advertised in this way at all if you still have to plug everything in while its on the mat whats the bloody point i wouldnt even accept it as a gift

  • this is useless you have to plug it in to an outlet and I could just easily charged usb products with my computer lmao

  • that aint really wireless fool!!!

  • It is wireless in the sense that the mat is transmitting energy WIRELESSLY from the mat to the said device.

  • who are the dumb asses that make this piece of shit.

  • what is the point of this???

  • @mjunior91 Less outlets, ease of use, but the price isnt worth it.

  • this is completely useless.

    if the mat is connected to an outlet and then your device is connected to the mat, then isn't your device, in a sense, connected to the outlet?

    Isn't the purpose of this innovation to NOT have your device "simply connected to the wall"?

  • @ChocoPrincess116 my thoughts exactly, it would be usefull if you could simply throw your stuff right on there without any adapters or cables.

  • ed on all the comments i've seen so far, this thing is going down.

  • stupid i don't need this for my Ipod I can charge it directly with my computer instead of paying 99$. The powermat is a stupid nonsense invention.

  • What's the point of people putting comments on here saying that it's a waste of money? Keep it to yourself!

  • ur still technically using wires, just not directly

  • Its cool but for 100$ I would rather have 100 cords plugged into my wall (if that was possible). I am not saying its not worth the money but its a little pricey paying for the "cool factor"

  • If you have to use the power cube thing, why not just use the standard charging cables? this is a waste of money

  • this is stupid. you have to pay 99.99 dollars to buy the powermat itself THEN you have to buy the sleeves for your devices...And to me that is the whole point, to simply just have your device and stick it on the mat at the end of the day...if you have to use the adapter it comes with and plug your device in...whats the point?

  • useless piece of shit...

  • I dont get the point.

  • LOL what's the fucking point of this?

  • What a Stupid Piece of Crap.

  • Another thing, what if the battery in the phone is close to dead, that short cord is not helpful like the normal cord that the phone comes with, you can't charge and use with the powermate like you can with a normal cord like what the device comes with.

    plus $99.99 to charge 3-4 devices cant beat $10.00 to charge 6-10 devices or plug in everyday household things.

    i can even plug a few devices into my pc or game systems and charge my device while i add new stuff to it.

  • The commercial makes it look like you just place your phone or what ever right on there without any plugs and it charges them.

  • Hahah, makes no freaking sense at all xD

  • Powermat = Fail

  • i hope the power mat inventers are reading all the youtube video comments on this device would love to see their faces lol

    THIS SUCKS NUTS you would have to be fucking insane or just a dam mug to buy this

  • too much promotion this is the stupid thing i ever see ..this must be made by MATEL

  • Well from what I've seen, this device is kinda useless.

  • Thanks for the Vid, powermat is dumb, nothing wireless about it. Lol my roommate tried to argue with me that it can be done with magnetics waves and shit... FAIL

  • this shit is not wireless u still have to plug the power adapter

  • still there is cable wires! hello!

  • They've invented this already. . .

    It's called an EXTENSION CORD / WALL OUTLET ADAPTER.

    The extension cord is more advanced seeing as: --You didn't get such a cluttered mess on your table top when in use.

    --You could actually use your divice and charge simultaneously.

    --They serve as surge protectors.

    --Much more compact.

    --Don't make you look like a douche.

    --And you did not have to flush $99.99 down the toilet either.

    __________ > Power Mat. [FAIL]

  • makes no sense...ahahahahahaah its just a cooler way of charging stuff

  • agreed just makes more shit u hav put on ur desk to charge ur phone instead of havin a single cord goin to ur wall

  • i throught they said no wirers

  • well thats crap, yah it works like it says in the comercials, but in the comercials you just clip this little black thing around you device and then lay it down, not some white square that has a cord that you still plug in to your device

  • you can buy cases and what not. it just cost more

  • The powermat is so stupid, maybe if it automatically charged it just by placing it on there. But since you still have to put this stupid case on it, you might as well just have plugs on your table instead of wasting your money.

  • i saw those at best buy for 40 buckss

  • I think the touchstone dock for palm pre and pixi is much cooler

  • one word, powerstrip.

  • This device is not "wireless" because you cant hold your phone while charging wireless. This product is not worth $120 , way too overprice.

  • sucks...

  • useless.....wasted my time.....

  • It isn't really wireless you have to put it on the may and you have to plug that thing into whatever you are charging. They need to make a charger like that but you can just lay down your phone by itself or farther away and charge it

  • wtf you still have to plug in in

  • @skatefreek lol

  • ▲ ▲

  • this is the dumbest product ever. If the device you bought didnt come with a charger why go speed top dollar on this POS when there is nothing special about it.. I am still also trying to figure out the wireless part...unless.. they mean wireless handheld device charger either case misleading and stupid product leave it for NASA

  • It's wireless in that power is transmitted wirelessly between the mat and the charging dock.

    The product is a bit of a novelty, but the technology has impressive and functional implications on the future of portable electronics.

  • they have been using this technology for 20 yrs ever heard of your electric toothbrush?

  • this is a waste of money. DO NOT BUY IT

  • I won't be impressed until these things are actually built into the phone. This extra piece is just kind of pointless.

  • wireless ???? how do they call it wireless if you need to put the device in that board ???

  • -,-'

  • really disappointing, like u kno you can just get like those things with u plug in and it had like 7 outlets, easier, and its not that convienient, like if you sleeping and u get a txt, u hav to take it off, if u had those oulets, the cord is longer

  • the powermat is useful because of its wireless-ness and how convenient it is, but its not worth 100$ maybe 60 to 80. another thing that i was disappointed by is that it only charges 3 things at a time.

  • Oh god this is such a scam.....

  • um where did that phone come from?? the motorola one. is it new? i looked on at&t online and i dident see it.

  • What Motorola phone? He says, "HP Glisten".

  • This is so lame. Nothing against Jon obviously because he makes a living off of making videos for YouTube so he's gonna review whatever he can get; but this thing is just useless. Completely takes away the point of being wireless because it's still attached to something!

  • it isn't actually wireless..the surfaces from that big black thing and that small white are from iron. when you put the litthle white thing on the black big..the power supply go to the phone via the iron !:D

  • Super Worthless jon, I wouldnt call that wireless at all. you still have to attach a charger cable to the device. If it was just a drop and charge that wouldnmake the product worth it. but still have to plug stuff... Nope.. 1 out of 10 on the powermat.

  • this is only good to buy is if u own all those systems or need a universal charger , in my opinion

  • isn't the point of something being "wireless" so that you can move around and use the device while it does what ever? this may be "wireless" but i still can't go anywhere with my phone or what ever i put to charge so i might as well just use the normal charger i got with it. good attempt but sorry not wasting my money on it.

  • lol this makes it worse since you cant use it and charge it at the same time

  • plugging in an attachment defeats the purpouse of the mat.

  • no shit! I could not agree more!

  • If you want to have three devices though, you'll have to buy another accessory. With just what it comes with, you can only charge one device so you might as well not buy it.

  • its a bit of a waste of money but it looks cool

  • really restarted, why would you buy something you already have, you the charger that comes included with the original product.

  • DUH FUUUUUH!?

  • worthless

  • why would you have a wireless DOCK! That just seems a bit dumb. It's cool, but the bulk of it and all those adaptes, and the fact that it needs to be plugged in anyway makes it not so impressive.

  • This thing is retarded!!!! It makes me so mad that people are buying this. "you only need one cord"... not quite you need a cord to the powermat, and either a dock or cord for each device you stick on this stupid thing.

  • Yea and even that one adapter had a cord. I bet if you took any 3 chargers that worked for devices compatible with the powermat they would still be smaller than that and take up less room.

  • its way overpriced...this same technology is used in 14 dollar toothbrushes...its called magnetic induction

  • USELESS .....

  • Alright look. This is a good device itz not worthless or dumb. Itz a good idea. But itz not worth 120 dollars. So stop callin it usless and dumb itz cool but not worth $120.

  • ....wtf i thought all you had to do was place it on the powermat and it charges.

  • the most useless piece of shit ever

  • that sound makes me happy.

  • i dont relly see the point so much couse i your still pluging in to the wall and there still is the fact that it has to sit in that place and pluse the docks are a ripoffand no point to them

  • Or for 15 bucks get a surgeproctor.

  • Okey.. is it me or I am not getting it? why would anyone pay for this... $1,- and you have a plug going in the wall and you get 3 at the end of the chord?!?!!! ehmm... thats it right?

  • You're Still Having to Plug something into the Devices.

    Thus, it's a mostly pointless accessory. Now, when we start getting True wireless charging, that will be cool.

  • ill wait for a REAL wireless charging mat. Thanks for reviewing

  • solar energy is more amusing.

  • most pointless thing i have ever seen

  • agree

  • This is only a good idea if you have an iPod, and iPhone and a DS Lite (Or any of the products they make their special case for)

    Cause then you put the iPhone in the case, keep the case on, then put it on the mat.

    The cube is a bit pointless mainly because you're still plugging it in...

  • thats retarded.

  • Wow, the commercial just showed people carelessly tossing things that need to be charged onto the mat.

    NOT going through the process of finding an adapter to plug into the device, and then sett it aside off the mat while a wireless device transfers power to the device through a WIRE.

    False advertising much?

  • Does this stuff want to imitate the Palm Pre's wireless charging? Coz than this is a MASSIVE FAIL lol :)

  • i like salade

  • me too

  • This is dumb. You still have to plug every thing in and they you have other cords on your desk.

  • So what you're telling me is...I would theoretically buy this to replace...what...an $8 powerstrip? Oh wait...no...you can plug 6 cables into those, so I guess you'd actually have to buy two of these.

    Fucking...ridiculous...

  • yea its ridiculous but their excuse is the point that theres no bunch of cables going everywhere

    my understanding was that u just had to put it on top and ittll start charging

    but we all know

    thats bs

    this way supposebly u dont have to carry around cablesss

    its better in a way

    but its dumb

  • what a great way to waste 300 bucks, instead of having 1 wire, from wall to phone, have a wire, a big ass mat, a big blocky thing attatched to your phone. Awesome, where can i buy one

  • Not even a nokia charger? They just lost sales for over half the cellphone using world

  • Nokia phones use USB.

  • actually the majority of Nokia phones don't. by majority I mean about 95%

  • Put trucks and wheels on the bottom!

    Skateboard Decor!

  • Oops! Wheels that DON'T move.

    Hate to smash you stuff!

  • I have a revolutionary solution to to all your problems... wait for it... A POWER STRIP for only one easy payment of $5.00 at your local WAL-MART. Get your's while it lasts...

  • It's like indirectly plugging the device in the electrical socket. Useless

  • I think it's useless.

  • I'm still not getting the point of this, yes it has so called "wireless charging." But wait? How is it wireless if you just plug it into the wall? You might as well just use the charger for the devices you already have. The only positive thing I see in this product is that it can charge three things at once from one outlet which is kind of nice. Overall it's still pretty pointless.

  • dumb

  • How could it be 'Wireless' if there is one big wire to the wall? I will rather put one big wire from the wall to my phone and not to this €120 thing.

  • useless shit

  • Fail.

  • AND NO IT DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED

  • this product is for tech fags who get off on the stupid sound it makes when it connects. usless crap

  • Why is everyone being so negative? It looks a whole lot easier than having 3 different plugs going into your wall and having to worry about having to unplug stuff just to charge your phone or something. It seems like a nice product.

  • my idea of "wireless" charging, would be charging anywhere in the house, not sitting on a charging bay

  • Cool.. now i'm going to buy a $120 useless invention and then go buy $40 adapters to attach to my electronics so it can be "wirelessly" charged

  • A wire goes from the wall to the Powermat, then a cord from the Powermat to the device... how in the name of God is this wireless charging. This is as useful as a USB dock, and takes up way more space.

  • guess what the made the extension cord to charge 4-8 items in one shot and it has one plug into the wall.... cost ....10 bucks? my guess they r juz using cordless electrical toothbrush charging tech. some 10 yrs ago...

  • guess where ill put that .......... RIGHT IN THE FUCKIN TRASH BABY!

  • So, basically, instead of buying a surge protector for a few dollars (so that you can use the manufacturer's chargers and can charge more devices at the same time), you spend more than $50 on this gimic device (and accessories) to limit yourself from charging more than 3 devices...
