Wireless charging solutions: more on the Powermat

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
