The editors liked

  • Wireless induction charging
  • Don't have to mess with cords again!
  • First product of its kind. Charges your portable devices without having to actually plug them in. Expansive device support.
  • Lots of potential
  • Easy to use when you’ve got the right gear
  • Just plain cool
  • Solid construction and design
  • Functions very well
  • Charges quickly
  • Lets you get rid of a few stock chargers

The editors didn't like

  • Limited device specific receivers
  • Pricey. A true wireless solution requires a device case or replacement battery-door cover
  • And costs extra.
  • Will cost around $200 to fully utilize it as a wireless charger
  • If you even can
  • All receivers are sold separately
  • Limited selection of receivers available
  • Which limit its overall usefulness

  • Abstract:  If you’re anything like the PC World team, you’ve been waiting for this day to come. No longer do we need to fill power boards with dedicated adapters for each and every device. Or try to scab missing adapters off colleagues from other magazines. Now,...

  • It is hard to rate the Powermat charging system. The charging mats are universally excellent, but cases are hit and miss and price and build quality vary tremendously. Ultimately iPhone users don't come out of it well, but if you own a phone with a remova...

  • Abstract:  The Powermat is a wireless charging system. This means that once you've plugged its surfboard-like base station into the mains, you never have to worry about wires again. However, each device you want to add to the system will need some kind of an adap...

  • Allows you to ditch the wires, auto shuts off when fully charged
  • Needs a case for your phone (at the moment), expensive
  • Damn cool, but not for those looking to scrimp and save...

  • Can successfully charge your phone without a wired connection
  • Won't work with every handset; you'll need to pay extra to charge more than one device simultaneously
  • The Powermat Home & Office Mat succeeds at powering your phone but we still can't accept that it fulfils a real need -- and it's not entirely wireless either ...

  • Abstract:  For once the first word describes this product exactly, it is a Power Mat, you lay your supported devices on it and it or they are recharged, in some cases quicker than they would be if they were recharged by a conventional cable....

  • There’s no denying that the Powermat is one of those bits of kit that makes you gasp. Just pop down three gadgets and they’ll begin to charge, despite the lack of plugs, via some alchemy known as magnetic induction. Powermat uses the same char...
  • It’s the need for these magic cases that prove to be the Powermat’s undoing. Not only are the cases limited in range (the company says Nokia is high up on its priority list), but they’re expensive at around £30 a pop and, in the cas...
  • The Powermat could flourish in time – and the company wants to upscale to netbooks and laptops. If it can reduce the size and price of the cases for a wider array of gear, it’ll only get better. Right now though, £160 to wirelessly charge...

  • Abstract:  The concept of wireless charging garnered attention earlier this year thanks to the Palm Pr?©'s Touchstone dock. You simply attach a special back cover to the Pr?©, lay it on the Touchstone and it charges without you having to connect a power cable. No...

  • Abstract:  L'induction magnétique n'est pas une nouveauté, mais son utilisation dans le domaine du chargement d'appareils électroniques n'est pas encore très répandue. Basée aux Etats-Unis, la société Powermat commercialise depuis quelques mois, avec succès se...
