Although I would still prefer USB to most other types of connectors, as I noted in my last post, there is something attractive about being able to just set your gadgets on a mat and have the devices charged through induction. It looks like some manufactures are getting close to releasing products. I have seen designs for a charging box, which might make some feel better about all the stray electromagnetic radiation. Powermat has a “puck” that supposedly allows adaptation to their power source. It sounds like this might be a USB adapter. If it isn’t, they should definitely jump on that idea. This would further justify and add value to those manufacturer’s who are already using USB connections.
