i think people were dissapointed it wasn't like those powermats in that it charged magnetically or whatever the deal is, but instead when the weight is set down its makes little probes pop out and charge it.
it wasn't as technologically special i think the deal was.
its kind of like a magic trick. they were all super pumped about it and thought coolest thing ever till they saw how basic it works. then somehow it lost all its magic and wasn't COOL anymore.
personally i love it. don't have to worry about the cord falling behind the desk or whatever ever. never have to worry about making space to set down your 3ds to charge, the dock always is tehre. ect. brilliant, and due to being basically a cheap knock off immitation to the power matt its i'm sure affordable as heck for nintendo
