Welcome back to InterrupTech. Catch up on the week’s most important tech stories in a hurry. We cover wireless power, Google Android all over CTIA, Verizon joins up with Google Voice, doubleTwist becomes a serious iTunes competitor, and Flash on every phone except the iPhone.

This week in tech saw a lot of open jaws and head shaking from observers like me. This week, I’ll point out the top four moves that makes me suspect drugs may have played a role in their decision to move them to the light of day. Here in tech, things move pretty fast; if you don’t stop and point out the crack heads, you could miss them.

This week:

• “We can squeeze one more release from Windows Mobile 2003″
• AT&T really hates iPhone users?
• Wireless power is here, do you want it?
• Flash on your phone; whether you like it or not<

The Powermat is now available and we’ve got the iPhone 3G receiver/case. Place the phone in the case and then place it on the Powermat charging mat. Then your phone charges wirelessly. Does it work like Powermat says? Gadgetell finds out.

We’ve seen the Powermat at tradeshows and Gadgetell had some hands on time for plenty of testing. Powermat is a wireless charging solution. If you get a Powermat receiver and a mat you can simply place your device on the mat to charge it. The claim is that you won’t need to hunt for or organize cables any more (besides the one that powers the Powermat Home & Office Mat). How did it perform? Is this really the future? Keep reading.

We first laid eyes on Powermat back at CES in January 2009. The system would charge your electronics wirelessly. All you had to do was place an adapter on your phone and then place that device on a charging mat. Wireless charging was supposed to become a reality from Powermat around the summer of 2009. more »

While getting the walk through Powermat’s booth, a representative from Microsoft showed up and was given a tour right through mine. Go figure, huh? In all fairness, maybe the Redmond wonder bunch will actually build Powermat’s technology into their products.

Who else showed up to Powermat? Lots of major broadcast networks, other huge companies, and the military. Yep, that’s right.

If the Powermat wireless charging system lives up to its claims, Powermat is going to be huge. The idea is simple, just place a device like a phone on a Powermat and your phone is charged. There is no need for lots of wires or numerous power adapters; you just need a mat and a device. We’ve got a huge photo gallery on this one.

The walk through of the product was fantastic. Powermat had actual working versions of their product. The first thing to see was the iPhone in a sleek case atop a white mat.
