Wireless charger

January 14, 2009

How many devices do you have?  I have about a gazzillion devices that always need charging.  I have an Ipod touch I just bought for my gf for Christmas, a 5th Gen Ipod for myself, a cell phone, my gf’s cell phone, a Blackberry Curve, a digital camera, and a GPS unit.  I need a power strip just to have enough outlets to plug all the chargers in.

What if you could charge all those devices without plugging and un-plugging chargers.  Well, Powermat is the answer.  It’s a single mat that can charge multiple devices all at once without plugging it in.  Well, you do have to plug the mat in, but after that the devices do not need to be plugged in to be charge.  You just need to place it on the mat and it starts to trickle charge wireless.  The site has great demos but not much detail about how long it would take to charge your devices.  There is no details about the technology or it’s compatiability.  Obviously its wireless but where are the details?  Can’t wait ’till it’s available.  I want one!

3. Save the file to your desktop, then run the file once it is downloaded

This will update your Verizon Wireless Blackberry Curve 8330 to version 4.5.0.77 which will allow you to enable GPS.

On the Curve go to Options -> About to confirm the correct version

To enable the GPS go to the Options-> Advance Options ->GPS

Then make sure the GPS Services is set to Location On.

Now get lost.
