Shopping Blog Post # 3 : The PowerMat


The PowerMat: Slim, Sleek Charging Mat for Home or Office

We’ve seen wireless charging solutions before– that is, pads onto which you can drop your drained gadgets, sans adapters– but Powermat’s system takes the cake, thanks to its green power distribution, smart design, and, best of all, support for laptops. Although it uses magnetic induction, just like the others, Power mat still made this budding technology prettier and more environmentally friendly. Wirelessly charges up to 3 Power mat-enabled devices simultaneously (plus one USB power port). Works with all Powermat receivers. Universal Powercube with 8 tips is included to enable you to charge hundreds of different devices.

Includes:
• Home & Office Mat
• Universal, international power supply (Energy Star level 5, 100-240V) with built-in cord management
• Power cube Universal Receiver with 8 tips
Specifications
• Charging Positions: 4 (3 wireless, 1 USB port)
• Dimensions: .625" x 12.25" x 4.5625" (HxWxD)
• Input Voltage: 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz Universal

Imagine a device that can charge all of your gadgets without the use of a plug and the discomforts of having to untangle wires just to charge a cell phone, camera, or even a laptop. Now you can do it all at once. Here is the solution to the never-ending problem of losing power while on the go. This product is great with college students who are always on the go and carry different gadgets. It is very portable, durable and useful especially with the fast-paced lives that students are living these days.

Versatile Design
The Powermat system doesn’t include just one product, but rather, a series of designs that cater to different lifestyles and, well, gadget choices. For one, there’s a classic mat onto which users can lay, perhaps, three phones side by side. Then there’s a three-way travel version, that users can fold up like a map while on the go. Finally, there’s a modular map, whose tiles users can unsnap and arrange any way they like. So, if you’re in a hotel whose desk has more length than width, you can stack the ties on top of– not next– to
each other.

Price
The Powermat is reasonably priced at $99 per mat considering what comes with the mat and the luxury it brings to your fast-paced lives.

  2. This has to be the best invention I've ever come across for this purpose. I don't know who came up with the idea, but I definitely see it going to the top. Such a lucky man/woman. Either way, this is a great invention for the 21st century, and no doubt this represents an alternative for making our fast-paced lives much easier.

  3. This just shows how much technology is advancing and that it will continue to advance. I think this product is wonderful and good for people on the go, who have to multitask. However, the price is a bit too much, hopefully it will be more affordable as they hype goes away.

  4. I've actually been quite interested in getting this myself, since I'm terrible when it comes to keeping my cords untangled. But what I would want to know, is if there are any bad sides to this product...and in the interest of the focus of our class, does this product differentiate between the sexes in any way? Does it target men or women specifically?
