    This looks like just the sort of impulse buy I need. Are these any good? or does the receiver bulk up your phone too much (I have a htc sensation, hp touchpad, ipod classic) wondering if anyone can recommend them or are they a novelty that is never used?

    Add a new address to your amazon address book, put your full address in the first 2 lines (inc Ireland) of the new address and use UK as country and BT11AA as postcode...

    This will work for amazon (anything under £25) as well as third party sellers, note some third party sellers charge for delivery to UK but its can be substantially less than what they charge to Ireland

    Also works for HMV, Zavvi, Play.com (no more getting ripped of by plays outrageous exchange rate) as well as more that i cant think of off the top of my head.

    Ok, just put my full address on the 1st two lines, but it still made me to fill in the 'Town' and 'County' fields. So now my address looks like:

    My Name,
    My House and street,
    Midleton,
    Co. Cork,
    Ireland,
    Midleton,
    Co. Cork,
    BT11AA,
    United Kingdom

    Surely they won't send anything to that address?

    Interesting. I notice that it's now letting me add items to my basket which it previously said could not be dispatched to an Irish address. Will those items actually get through?

    http://www.duracellpowermat.com/wireless-power-cases/galaxys3.html

    Might be able to order it from there..

    Edit: Just google Zens and it looks like a much neater case.. Is the Zens case compatible with powermat? If so I might pick up the powermat and wait for the Zens case to start shiiping..

    Sorry I've never heard of these things but those prices look amazing.

    What the hell do they do though?

    You stick the cover on the phone and when you want to charge it you just place it on the mat!

    It's not very well done.

    There's a fairly hefty case for the iPods and non standard devices have a adaptor wire from their charging port to the powermat block.

    At first I thought you could just throw any device on it and it'd charge away, but unfortunately not.

    It'll be a few more years till these are available:http://www.ted.com/talks/eric_giler_demos_wireless_electricity.html

    Anyone know if these are Qi compatible?
    I would pick one up for my Nexus 4 if it is.

    Edit: Looks like its not Qi compatible.

    Starbucks Boston were trialling the mats in November when I was there. So if more places adopt them all you would need is the connector for your phone. Then you would potentially be able to charge on the go.

    Thought the Galaxy S3 had wireless charging built in? Does that not mean it shouldn't need a cover etc and should just work with the mat alone?

    It has the internal contacts for wireless charging but it needs a new back cover as well as the mat to enable it.
