Powermat has been touting its wireless chargers for awhile now--ever since CES 2009, quite frankly--but now they're finally available for you, the consumer, to purchase.
The
Powermat is a one-pad, one-plug system (pictured above right) that charges all your gadgets in one place without wires. The way it works is that your gadget gets a special "Powermat Receiver" sleeve so that it can use magnetic induction charging to power your devices. (Aren't familiar with magnetic induction? If you’ve got an Oral-B rechargeable toothbrush, or a Palm Touchstone charger for your Pre, it’s the same thing.)
The Powermat itself retails for US$99.99, and costs another US$40 per receiver. The company has cases available for
Apple iPhone 3G and
iPod touch, RIM BlackBerry (
Bold,
Curve 8300,
Curve 8900,
Pearl) and the Nintendo DS portable gaming system.
Cheap? Hardly. Mouth-gapingly cool? Absolutely.
It's available now at Best Buy and Target stores.

I don't suppose they are planning to distribute or ship here to Malaysia?
