Starbucks plans to install Powermat’s wireless charging stations at its coffee stores across the US. After a small pilot run with these “Powermat Spots” — small circles that are seamlessly implanted in tables and counters — the larger rollout will kick off within Starbucks and Teavana locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. Eventually the charging stations will make their way to the company’s coffee and tea shops nationwide. “2014 will be focused mainly on the west coast, but 2015 will see expansions to major metropolises across the United States,” said Powermat President Daniel Schreiber in an interview with The Verge. On average, each store should receive 10 or more Powermat Spots.
i don’t think any phone uses PMA, i can’t imagine why starbucks would have done this (except duracell is paying them lots and lots of money)
Pretty sure no mobile device made today uses PMA’s standard. Qi is what’s been in any device that’s included it standard, but some manufacturers (as noted above) sell PMA accessories.
