CES 2010 Powermat Demo

The Dead Sexy Mag Gadget Team stopped by the Powermat booth @ CES 2010 to get the 411 on this cool technology.

There are 2 models of Powermats: Home & Office Powermat and Portable Powermat. Each come with a Powercube (flat white dongle that sits on the mat) and 8 interchangeable tips for your devices. Additional Powercubes can be purchased for simultaneously charging of up to 3 devices/mat. The Powercube allows the charge to pass from the Powermat into your devices.

Most devices will end up using the Powercube. It comes with 8 tips in total. The default tip which is part of the Powercube is capable of charging a number of devices alone. The additional 7 interchangeable tips will allow you to connect to virtually all other devices.

The other methods of charging is with custom cases. They are only available for certain Apple, Blackberry and Nintendo DS products. There's also the docking base for Apple too. Best to get the full details at www.powermat.com. They have pretty much all devices covered!

Even with the convenience of the custom cases, your device might not look the same. There will be added "bulk" and your pretty will be concealed to some degree. If you're like me, I like to see the full design of my gadget as the manufacturer intended. What's Powermat's solution?

Powermat will be introducing the Powerpak in June 2010. These will replace the battery packs in your devices and due to this seamless integration there's no outward change in appearance of your gadgets. This will be cool! Less is more in my books.

Unfortunately it won't be available for all products (ahem...iPhone, since the battery is not user serviceable..)

The price is $99.99 @ Best Buy for both models of Powermat no matter if you live in Canada or south of the border.
