In the last few years we have seen a great and convenient advancement in technology- cordless charging. First came the Powermat, a charging system for portable devices. Simply plug the mat in and set your device (phone, iPod, MP3 player, etc.) on the mat, and your phone will wirelessly charge.
Now this technology has advanced to laptop bags, briefcases, and backpacks. The Powerbag is both stylish and useful, lasting as much as a week on a single charge. Simply store your devices in the bag to fully charge them. The Powerbags sell for around $120 on Amazon.
I have always been intrigued by the Powermat and never bought one, but I am really considering buying a Powerbag. I fly several times a year and think it would be very useful to charge my phone, my fiance's iPod, and our laptop for my daughter to watch movies on. Batter power is always a concern to me, as I am admittedly addicted to technology.
The obvious concern for me was safety. Having a big charging battery on my back while walking in the rain isn't particularly appealing to me, but the inventor assures it's safety.
What do you guys think?
I got a Powermat as a gift a few years ago. I don't use it that much, as the cellphone I was using I didn't have the right end on it. I was able to charge my iPod and my wife could charge her phone. We use it now more that both of our cellphones are able to charge on it. I think its a cool device, but not sure if I would have ever bought one myself.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the Powerbag, I think would have it benefits, but not sure if I would buy one or not.
The Powerbag seems like an innovative idea. I am very intrigued by this technology because it charges our devices simply by being in contact with them. This means no more cords and no more batteries. What a relief! However, I am concerned about the safety issues as well. How safe is it in the various weather conditions? That is something that we may have to research more! Great blog Megan and thanks for introducing me to Powerbag!
