Smart Finds: Wireless charger iDapt will recharge almost any device

iDapt’s Wireless Charger (i4w Qi ) is as useful as it gets for charging multiple or single portable electronic gadgets – some even without a cord.

It’s compatible with more than 5,000 devices and can charge up to four simultaneously. If your device is Qi enabled – to provide energy through magnetic induction – all you do to charge it is lay it down on the front flat part of the charging base.

In addition to the wireless charging, iDapt comes with interchangeable charging adapters. The “tips” included with this system are a pair of microUSB, miniUSB, Apple Lighting and 30-pin. Additional tips can be purchased for $9.99 each.

Any two of these can be put to use at the same time along with the Qi-enabled device. The fourth device can be charged out of the USB port (2.1 to 2.4 amps) with your own USB cable. $59.99 at www.idaptweb.com.
