Wireless Outlet to the Future?

Recently, a new device made its preview. The Powermat was introduced as the new wireless charging system that simultaneously juices up all your electronic gadgets. It came out as a solution to reduce the jumble of cables and cords at home or underneath desk when people charge their phones, Blackberry etc. You can charge up to 3 devices at a time by placing a device with a Powermat receiver onto the mat.

What 's good about it besides the obvious, is that it's energy efficient and simple in design. It's also quite easy to use. Just place the mat on  a surface and plug it in and then take a receiver and attached it to your rechargeable device. There's 3 charging spots on the mat and if you position your gadget on  1 of the 3 designated charging spot, you will feel a magnetic tug. A light turns on with a sound effect to let you know that it is being charge.

The downside to all this awesomeness is that you still need to plug in the mat. However, instead of having to plug in six things you only have to plug in one. Also the mat has only 3 defined spots that charge receivers. You would have to position it in the right way, not just anywhere with a bunch of them squished together.

All in all this innovation is practical and useful. Especially for traveling when u have multiple things to charge, or at home/ office if more than one electronic device needs charging.
