The system includes a mat and one or more "receivers" that lay on top of it to charge the devices. Some of the receivers are sleeves that fit over the devices, others are dongles that plug into them and rest on the mat. There's also a docking station that holds any type of iPod.

The mat uses magnetic induction to transfer electricity to the device via the receiver, and the receivers contain a chip that tells the mat how much power is needed and when charging is complete. There's also word that the powermat can transmit data to your gadget, but no details yet on such features as iPhone syncing wirelessly.

The Powermat charging mat will retail for around $100, with the individual gadget adapters costing between $25 and $35.
