Powermat is finally getting close to releasing its charging pads that we have been spying on for years. The company has five upcoming pads, each aimed for a slightly different use.

Two three port pads, the Bedside and Desk Mat, are obviously aimed at specific users. The Bedside comes in a soft white with a clock that rests on one of the pads. The Desk Mat however, comes in black digs and has a single speaker for your listening pleasure.
