Bretford’s #IC2259 partnership with PowerMat has come to life in a cool feature—a charging pad that can be built into anything with a grommet. Launching in October. As Bretford’s Cindy Weinschreider explains, you buy a new $10-20 charging-friendly back for your phone from Best Buy (or for your iPad) and via Power Mat’s inductive technology you can just drop it on the charging pad and it will charge while it sits there. She says the technology’s already proven at Chicago’s O’Hare airport and in schools. When you see it you will want one for your own desk, kitchen counter, bathroom vanity…. (just not on the dining room table please).
