Wireless inductive charging is awesome. You take your gadget, set it, forget it. It’s like an infomercial. Know what’s even better? When Powermat and Chevy join forces to integrate the technology in your car, where it’s especially useful.
True, you can charge some phones now without buying a special inductive-charging case (via their swappable batteries), but Powermat wants to work with manufacturers to put the technology into phones from the get-go.
Fans of wireless charging rejoice, because Powermat are finally launching into the Australian market next month.
Ten seconds. Ten chances to fail. Can a flack from PowerMat convince you to buy their gadget in just a dollar’s worth of time?
They stormed their way into our hearts last year, and at CES this week, they have announced a further five products, throwing out the $US40 cases needed per phone.
Inductive charging, allowing you to charge a gadget just by placing it on a non-electrocuting surface, is a pretty neat parlour trick. But you’re still putting a gadget on a charger. This DIY mod, however, trades synthetic chargers for wood.
