Sonicare has been doing this for years! It's nothing new!

The WildCharger pad can charge up to 5 devices, is >95% efficient (no matter how the device sits on the pad) and is cheaper for device mfgs to embed (no complex control circuitry or coils). Also, they're now being sold in Best Buy (Psyclone TouchCharge game controllers- Wii, Xbox, PS3) -- so they're safe and proven.
I bought a Blackberry skin online for my Curve and love it. This just seems like a more eco-friendly solution -- and who knows what the magnetic fields will do to you in the long run.

What a great new technology. There are so many uses - home, office, travel!

This is a great idea and will really eliminate the mess of cords from bb, phone, ipod, etc!

This is pretty sweet. I hate having to unplug one thing to plug in something else, no more trying to find outlet space. I will probably get this when it comes out.

I'm excited about the PowerMat, it's such a fantastic concept and with 90% efficiency I can't wait to try it for myself. This could be the end of cord clutter and no more carrying multiple power cords everywhere that I go.
