If I invested in a Powermat system... I'd have to pay $100 for the mat and another $30 for this thing... just to charge my phone:

Why not just make a wall plug with many different tips... and skip the whole "inductive charger" altogether? If you have to buy a Powemat *and* an iPod dock for it... isn't that a little redundant and expensive?

That said, I worry a bit about these new RF methods. Has anyone plugged in the KillAWatt?]]>Nov 23rd 2009 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/powermat-retrofitted-into-plank-of-wood-new-world-of-opportunie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/powermat-retrofitted-into-plank-of-wood-new-world-of-opportunie/Nov 24th 2009 4:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/powermat-retrofitted-into-plank-of-wood-new-world-of-opportunie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/powermat-retrofitted-into-plank-of-wood-new-world-of-opportunie/Nov 23rd 2009 8:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/powermat-retrofitted-into-plank-of-wood-new-world-of-opportunie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/powermat-retrofitted-into-plank-of-wood-new-world-of-opportunie/Until manufacturers integrate these chargers into devices themselves, I think powermat will be very niche.
