At the CES 2009, Powermat introduced it’s innovative wireless power system, which goes by the same name as the company. The mat has a single power cord to connect to an outlet, and by merely placing gadgets on the mat, you can charge them — regardless of their voltage. Check out this video by Wired.com for a demo:

I’m a big fan of Pandora, a free web service that creates streaming, personalized radio stations based on songs or artists you like. Maybe you can listen to it on your new ChicBuds that you can win on our website???? If you haven’t used the service before, basically you type in a song or artist, and it will populate an ongoing playlist with songs that have similar musical qualities. If you don’t like a song, tell the station and they’ll adjust your tunes accordingly.

Now can discuss and debate your favorite music with other listeners on Pandora’s Energizer Forum, check it out!

Like previous e-book readers, the Amazon Kindle relies on an easy-to-read E Ink display that needs no backlight and draws power only when loading a new page. (It can handle thousands of pages between charges.) The Kindle’s key innovation—the one that blazes the way for digital paper products—is its inclusion of a high-speed EVDO antenna and a deal with Sprint that allow users to download books quickly, from nearly anywhere.
