Never mind about how much the Powermat looks like the new Tony Hawk Ride controller, the reason we’re excited about it is the promise of one pad with one plug to charge all your gadgets simultaneously. The Powermat works via the same contact charging tech as the Palm Touchstone, but powers many more devices, including BlackBerrys, Nintendo DSs and even iPhones, and it’s going on sale on 15 October in the US.
