Powermat Launches Gen 2 Line

Powermat this week unveiled its second generation line of products after just one year of the company's launch. Powermat listened to consumers and created its Gen 2 line to be super slim (just 1.6mm, down from 3.4mm) and form-fitting. Also, with the Gen 2 line, no longer do you have to plug and unplug the device. Simply pop on the receiver once, then drop and charge. Receivers are available for popular smartphones including the iPhone 4, HTC EVO, HTC HD2, Motorola Droid X, Blackberry Bold 9700 series, Blackberry Curve 8500/9300 series and Nokia N97. And iPhone 4 users…the receiver also doubles as a protective case!

Each of the new receivers are sold either individually or as part of a complete charging solution that includes a single position mat and its own power supply.

"Just one year ago, we introduced the world to the ease and convenience of wireless charging. Our success has directly resulted from the consumers' need to be connected at all times and to always have their devices charged," said Ran Poliakine, CEO. "Our current line was developed with significant consumer input and what consumers demanded were three things: slimmer receivers, broader device support, and a completely wireless solution for when there are no outlets in sight. We're delighted to deliver on all three fronts."

Powermat also introduced new power-on-the-go series:

Powermat Portable 2x Rechargeable Mat: Launched exclusively at Best Buy, the Portable 2x incorporates a built-in 7200 mAh lithium polymer battery that charges up to two Powermat-enabled devices simultaneously.
