I was in the Powermat booth and they had some pretty cool demos going on. Their technology is moving from a shell that you put on your device to power charging integrated into the battery. This is a huge change (the rep mentioned that is will be available Q2) and makes the technology incredibly compelling, I can’t stand all the chargers. Especially if you think about their car holder – drop it into the holder and you comply with the law and charge the device without plugging in.

They also demonstrated where they are going with appliances. The below appliances have no cords, just a charging station built below the counter top. No cords, that would be nice.
