I wrote a post the other day about two lots of marketing collateral that I saw, within days of each other, for competing solutions on wireless charging of mobile devices. One solution was called the Powermat, and the other, the PowerPad.
Well both companies responded to my article (!), and here’s what Powermat had to say (Powerpad in another post here):
- Don’t miss out on getting your hands on Powermat – the first truly wireless charger
- Powermat will change the way you charge as it enables up to four mobile phones, MP3 players and other devices to charge at the same time
- Using wireless energy transfer, Powermat pairs an ultra-thin mat with a receiver which connects to your device
- A sleek black design, Powermat will help de-clutter your home, creating one common charging area for all your devices
- Powermat also helps you travel light with a special portable version that folds up to less than 10cm by 10cm by 3.5cm
- Powermat receivers are currently available for the iPhone, iPods and BlackBerry devices. Consumers who purchase the Powermat Powercube can also connect via mini USB to many other devices to meet their charging needs.
- Powermat products will be available nationwide in October 2009 from all major retailers

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
