Powermat iPhone

The way things are going it is going to end up being illegal to even think about using your phone while you are driving, even if it isn't actually in the car with you at the time. Hell, thinking about using a phone while driving even when you're sat at home is risky. In fact, just writing about it may get me into trouble.

You really don't want to be messing around with Apple's charging cables when driving, either. You know how difficult they can be to plug in when you're giving them your full attention, especially when you're using one of those $0.50 ones off eBay, right?

PowerMat has already managed to come up with a workable solution for charging an iPhone without wires, and now a clever fellow has taken the next logical step, by modding such a charging method to bits in the pursuit of a wireless charging and docking station for an iPhone when in the car. Did the simple thought of it got you to the edge of your seat? I can bet it did.

That makes charging your iPhone safer than changing the radio station on your in-car unit, or checking your speed when trying to avoid one of those speed camera. Or talking to your passenger. Or looking in your rear-view mirror. Or...
