Have you ever found yourself in a Starbucks, ordered a cup of coffee, got yourself a table to sit down at to drink it, then taken out your Smartphone only to realize your battery has about 2 minutes left on it before it dies?<\/p>\n

Congratulations you are just like me! If you are then you will be happy to know that coming to a Starbucks near you soon, could be Duracell Powermats that are inbuilt into the table tops that will allow you to rest your phone on to charge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Starbucks’ chief digital officer, Adam Brotman, says the inductive charging system by Duracell Powermat is being built into a number of the brand’s tabletops “just to get a sense for how our customers will react, compared to having to plug their mobile devices into the wall.”<\/p>\n

The trial will start here in the US this Christmas and then it will be rolled out further afield in 2013.<\/p>\n

Here are the 17 stores and locations that will you can test the Powermats on:<\/p>\n
