If you haven’t ignored your television commercials lately, you’ve most likely come across Verizon ads that point out Apple’s lack of 3G coverage in parts of the US. Verizon even went as far as releasing an ad making fun of AT&T’s coverage crippling the iPhone (check it out after the break).

Well, AT&T didn’t sit back and take it. AT&T filed a lawsuit against Verizon for the “there’s a map for that” and then started new ads starring Luke Wilson, that are supposed to convince America that AT&T doesn’t have the shoddy coverage that Verizon claims.

CES 2009 bought many gadgets to the forefront of technological advancement but the one that made a big impression was the Powermat charger. The Powermat charger is one of the few devices that uses wireless electricity through induction with successful results.

The Powermat charger is a thin platform that charges your gadgets through the induction case that comes with it, no wires necessary. The mat itself costs $100 and the case comes for an extra $40 which is not a lot to pay, considering how much time and energy it will save you. The only downside to this is the limitation of devices so unless you own an iPhone, iPod Touch, Nintendo DS, or Blackberry, you have to buy a separate adapter in order for the Powermat to charge you gadgets.
