Earlier this month at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, we had the chance to take a look at the infamous Powermat. Powermat is a wireless charging system and an aspirant for the hottest gadget of this year. Instead of having a spaghetti of cables for charging your various gadgets, Powermat confines all this mess into one simple and revolutionary mat. All you need to do is place your phone or device on the mat and it begins charging instantly. So how does this wireless charging technology work? Well, the whole system consist out of one mat, that is available in different sizes allowing you to charge up to three devices simultaneously, and a receiver which is attached to your device of choice. The Powermat X1, X2 and X3 will be available in Summer 2010 for a retail price of $29,99, $44.99 and $59,99 retrospectively. The number of the mat, i.e. X# indicates the number of devices that the mat can charge. There are potable as well as home and office mats available which can be used as a very nifty hub.

You all know it: You want to watch a movie while you are sitting in the bus or train. But what is the best device for that? I´ve tested three different portable gadgets: The Nokia N95 multimedia computer, the Apple iPod touch and the future of mobile gaming the Sony PSP.

After I post my audiotest, Stefan, from Ringnokia has ask me if I could make a new audiotest with the iPod.So here it is:

The iPod is nowadays the most famous MP3-player.Is it only a hype or is it really a great MP3-player?The iPod start against the winner of the earlier audiotest,the N91.

Audiofrequency:

iPod:

Almost without waves and almost perfect.

N91:

There are only minimal waves in the bass and tonic-area which provide for a beefy play back.

So,both the devices have a great audiofrequency but the N91 has a lot more functions than the iPod.7 reasons why you should buy the N91 8 GB instead of the iPod:

You can’t look videos/pictures on every iPod
You can’t change the battery of the iPod
With the iPod you can’t dowload music and podcast over the air(W-LAN,GPRS,UMTS)
You need a special data-cable
You can’t send music
The iPod has no loudspeaker
You need a BT adapter to connect the iPod to a BT headset

Verdict:
So if you want a Mp3-player with more than 8GB is the iPod the best choice.It has a great audiofrequency and a good userinterface.Bud if you search a Mp3-player with 8
or less GB you should take the N91 because it can do a lot more than the iPod.
