Travelers often forget to pack cell phone, camera, and/or laptop charges when away on business or leisure. Travelers’ conversely leave charges behind during lodging visits as an inventory of any lodging facilities’ lost and found/housekeeping department will display. Hotels must find a way to cater to guests needs for chargers as technology moves forward rather than relying on in-house inventory.
The Powermat, Ltd. Company recently showcased a new product at the January 2009 Consumer and Electronics Show- a wireless charger with the ability to charge iPhones, iPods, Blackberry’s and other mobile phones, GPS units, handheld games, and laptop computers. The unit allows users to plug in their unit to one of its ports, which simultaneously allows for the power charger to conduct electricity to repower the unit. The unit eliminates the use of power cords as its source of energy is created magnetically from the touch of a blackberry, etc. The unit may also be used as a power source rather then the traditional power strip, which would decrease the cases of electric shock as the unit can only be powered by the magnetic touch of an iPhone, etc.
A hotel which determines to outline its guest rooms with the Powermat charger/power strip will see improvements in space, as cords are eliminated, and electricity costs, as power is magnetically transferred through unit to source connectivity. The future may see a transition in the way items are powered and charged as the Powermat comes to the market in 2009.
