Hi Rick, saying that Qi is a "powermat" based wireless power standard is missleading. Powermat is using the PMA standard and not the Qi

 

I guess he just meant a device needs to rest in some sort of surface like the powermat.

 

If I meant the company Powermat, it would have been capitalized, but I see your point. I'm going to space out the word to avoid confusion.

 

Power Pad would be a better choice.....That is what most are use to calling them from Touchstone's version and Verizon that is Qi is called a Pad.... Plus the copy cats of Duracell Powermat, is PowerPad....LOL

 

PMA and A4WP are the same People/Group.....

 

Just don't spill your coffee on your desk. Ouch

 

I know someone has previously mentioned this, but can someone tell me the difference between the PMA and the A4WP? Seems to be more Alliances/Consortiums than kinds of wireless technology!

 

That's the nice thing about standards. Everyone has their own

 

'nice' for the consumer who wants to charge their Nokia Lumia 920 with a Powermat Charging pad but can't cos everyone has their own standards!
