Have you heard of this thing called a power mat? Here’s how it works. You set a few electronic devices on the mat and it will charge them up for you, wirelessly. Isn’t that amazing. This is great especially if you lose a charger or if you have a bunch of stuff to charge like an iPod, cell phone and psp all at once. There is a small catch though, you’ll need “receivers” for each of your devices, which are sold separately.
