PowerMat is a new tool available on the market that allows you to wirelessly charge several gadgets, including cell phones and handheld video games. You drop them at the PowerMat—its magnets pull each tool into the most appropriate charging position, after which they charge it through magnetic fields. Lights and sounds indicate the device’s popularity and let you know when it is set (at which point the PowerMat is intelligent enough to exchange off).
What gadgets can you use with PowerMat, and how do you do it? These gadgets fall into three principal categories: mobile phones (mobile phones), handheld game consoles, and miscellaneous gadgets. For some devices, special receivers are connected to the device for handy wireless charging. Other gadgets should be charged with a more conventional wired connector – for this reason, the PowerMat comes with a committed PowerCube Universal Receiver and multiple connectors (referred to as ‘recommendations).
