I just saw this commercial during the Dodgers game. Cool looking thing. I’ll bet it eats as much power as 10 hairdryers… ---

I wouldn’t trust this thing. I know that when I used my car phone charger that wasn’t actually for my phone, it was like the radioshack brand, it fucked up the battery. Wonder if this would do the same? ---

Wonder if this would do the same? That was probably a problem of differing voltages. This thing however, does not appear to be voltage but rather powered by FM. (No, not frequency modulation. Fucking Magic.) ---

Not impressed. You dont just set your phone on it and it magically charges. You need the adapter for your device that still plugs into the charging port and gives the connection on the back of the device between the mat. ---

:word: its just a different way of connecting your device to a charger. ---

You need the adapter for your device that still plugs into the charging port and gives the connection on the back of the device between the mat. bingo!! Waste of money, it’s not really wireless because you still have to be incontact with the mat. Infact it’s even worse than being connected with a wire because at least with a wire you can pick it up and move the device around without it having to stop charging. You are still basically wired just without a wire ---

I have to watch the commercial another 645 times before I’ll make any judgement
