To charge just my one blackberry curve it cost $140 dollars. It is really nice not having to think about plugging the cord into the phone all the time, but I am still not convinced that it is worth $140 dollars. Also I have a Blackberry world edition as well, which I cant find the batt door for it, so I still have to plug it into the mat no matter what. Same thing i have been doing all a long. I would say that if they would make these cheaper and be able to charge more products without cords, it would be a great product. But don't but it for just one device, not worth the money.

You buy it, then shitcan it a week later. This looks like another one of those “As seen on tv” pieces of crap. You buy it, then shitcan it a week later.

More devices need to be supprted... and by that i don't mean give me a cord for it. Also i think that they should have made actual batteries that flush with the device. Just my thoughts. i was looking at this but i don’t think it’s ready to be in the market. More devices need to be supprted… and by that i don’t mean give me a cord for it.

It's still losing energy through the adapter and far more through the indirect charging pad. A charger meant for the device is just losing energy through the adapter. Then there's the aspect of leaving this pad charger plugged in 24/7, I unplug my regular adapters and chargers after every use. Even though it's not charging anything the adapter is still drawing a current. It’s not “green,” just yet. It’s still losing energy through the adapter and far more through the indirect charging pad.

However, I think they have to make the receiver smaller. But it's way cooler than the regular charger for my iPhone already :) my iPhone needs this badly.
