Waste. Connection easily breaks. Did not last a week. Just purchas another charger or battery.

Yay! This busted-a$$ product turned into a $150 dollar charger for my friends I-phone and turned his phone into a candidate for the “the biggest loser” because it fattened it up with it’s “enabler” (which he didn’t even know he needed until, whoops, just dropping his phone on the pad wasn’t doing anything after 5 hours). Now my buddy has seen the light and will be taking this overpriced POS back. I win, he loses….shoulda’ listened!

Count me in as deceived; well….my wife as she purchased it for me as a gift. Boy, watching those commercials and LOOKING AT THE BOX doesn’t clarify anything in regards to “enabled”. The only thing I enabled with this device is my cars ignition as I took it back to the PX.

Sure, just drop your device on it and it’ll charge! Not…..

This is very helpful info. The manufacturer’s documentation avoids any clear explanation of what “enabled” means, undoubtedly because it diminishes the usefulness of the product and means you’re going to have to spend more money for it to be conveniently useful. There is too much wow-and-awesome language from the marketing folks and not enough practical information on how you make the thing work.

just another money milking machine…but wait. some croatian scientist is working on truely wireless charging…
induction was understood and perfected by nikola tesla originally, so giving the baby to mother is fine

we dont want any limits…we want charging all the time, everywhere
home, office, train, car mall, plane…concept is simple…even earth’s magnetic field has some guidance potential
“by 2013, you’ll all want and have television sets operating wirerlessley, and most kitchen appliances too anywhere near your home” japanese already have TV set doing this…10′ away (not the best but hey, its a start)

furthermore,
with relay stations and confining/streamlining/aplifying those energy fields…to highways and busy routes, we will be able to power even our vehicles.
modulators will be able to switch electron’s energy orbits and release/utilize this to execute any task. we will need -rapidly- supersafe and reliable temporal and spacial corridors to evade/avoid/prevent being pulverized. being properly grounded will soon not be enough. who will really get wealthy?
one who deciphers atom transfer…beyond 3 molecules away. once again, light will take the lead. other things will piggy back
what will we do? i dont know exactly…perhaps search for God full time? nothing else seems to make any sense

so,
our children will refuse to believe we were so behind …current powerfull lobying/marketing by existing industries still keep the rug over our eyes.
Q: what would happen if copper was not needed in such quantities to those who hold that stock?
or to those who have factory set-ups for production of internal gas guzzling combustion engines?!
**enter cricket sound**
they dont want to let that golden chook loose yet. for now: do buy but discriminate bad from good from best!

i was amazed by this technology until i just read you have to plug in the power cube, this would be good for an electric car but in this case a complete waste of time.

what do they mean by “Enable” your device? The text says that you can “enable” your device by attaching it to the powercube. For How Long? 1hr? 2? 3? 1 day? 2 days? a week?

this is a great solution for me. my cheap blackberry usb port finally broke and I was about to be out of luck when I cam across this device. It was either get a cradle where I would have to take the battery out every time i wanted a charge, or i can just simply plop it down on the mat to charge. Even better, instead of dealing with a cord when someone calls during a charge, I can just pick it up and put it down without using the plug. Not for everyone, but it works for some and especially if you have a situation like myself.

This is one of those times when people should really do their research on a new item before they buy it. I waited 6 months before getting one of these. I checked the company out back in December, and just the other day decided to get one. Unless you have a device with an offered holster/battery/case, don’t get this. If you do have one of those few devices, and don’t mind the case, GET IT. This is a fantastic product, both as an office novelty and practicality. Only con that wasn’t mentioned:

If you have a cell phone, the Powermat will interfere and weaken the signal of your phone, so make sure to put the station where you have at least 4 bars normally. Otherwise you end up like me getting text messages 1 hour later from when the phone should have received it. Lol!

Agreed it can be an expensive product to buy but it does come into its own when you have multiple devices to charge. Basically it works for me as it saves me having multiple chargers all lieing around and i can simply leave my iPhone on charge when im at home and dont have to scrape around for the right lead or find the plug. My living room now looks a lot less cluttered and my plug sockets are free now.

My wife just bought two of these, one as a gift and one for us. We are totally upset! The box shows no wires hence the term wireless, however you still have to plug something (reciever) into the phone and then the powermat is pluged into the wall. We are taking ours back for a full cash refund! NOT HAPPY AT ALL

More false advertising or poorly advertised junk made to trick and deceive the public…There is nothing wireless about this powermat (unless you spend even more money on a docking station)…

Interesting, what if i need to use my phone while its charging. Do i stick my head against the phone while its lying on the mat? Morever, it takes about the same effort to put my phone on a regular dock, why do i need to spend $140 just to eliminate metal contacts. I think this device is utter rubbish. It’s benefit doesn’t even come close to it’s cost.
