Most of the tech industry is now after a new phone, a new tablet, or a new laptop every year. [No, this is not a diss at today's Apple event...or, perhaps it is] However, we have come to a point where we don't exactly need to upgrade every year or even every two years.

Nomad's Base Station caught our eye this week for offering a full surface charging station. Its proprietary FreePower algorithms locate your device, creating virtual coils directly under your phone (or other Qi-enabled devices), the company explains. "This is accomplished by 18 dedicated charging coils that intelligently work together to form an electromagnetic coupling to your device's power receiver."
With its full-surface charging station, you can drop your devices anywhere on the Base Station Pro to let the charge begin.
Never worry about waking up to a dead phone because it wasn’t aligned perfectly on the charger’s “sweet spot” again.
