Say goodbye to traditional system of "different chargers for different gadgets"


You could soon be saying goodbye to having several different chargers for all your handheld gadgets like your mobile phone or MP3 player..The mouse-sized pad allows users of cellphones, PDAs, and other portable, recharcheable devices to simply place them on the pad for recharging rather than plug them all in separately. Great idea, right? Yes a great mind’s creation of “SPLASH PAD” made it possible.The splash pad system is based around a small flat mat that plugs into the main electricity supply and a special module inside a gadget. You turn is just to pick up your phone and drop it on the pad ….it charges.The technology is based on the principle of magnetic inductive power transfer.The splash pad is expected to cost between $25 and $50.

Only problem is that the SplashPad requires the use of SplashModules, thin little receiver modules that fit onto the portable devices to be recharged. It would have been nice if the SplashPad worked on its own without having to put stickers all over our devices, but we'll still give this thing a try. Could solve some serious wiring (and more serious electrical fire) issue we always seem to battle, what with about 800 adapters under the desk.
