"You know you do it. We all do it. if you&amp;#039;re lucky enough to spot a seat near an outlet, you lay your bag down at the table with triumph before going to order from the growing array of products at your local Starbucks. The seat stalking might be over for you by 2015, though, if the Starbucks you habitually hit up is in an area designated to get the first round of Duracell Powermat wireless charging mats.  The mats are flat charging stations that will be set into tables and counters throughout Starbucks locations. The national rollout of the battery saving mats has begun in San Francisco Bay area shops and they&amp;#039;ve already been installed in select Boston and San Jose locations. More major markets will see the pads pop up in 2015, with each location getting 10 or more, according to the Starbucks press release. Although the wireless charging stations will certainly help people on the go, according to The Verge, not everyone will be able to use them right away. Many popular smartphones don&amp;#039;t have the necessary technology to charge at these stations built in, so special phone cases or an &amp;quot;inexpensive receiver &amp;#039;ring&amp;#039;&amp;quot; can make phones compatible with the charging mats, though Powermat president Daniel Schreiber wouldn&amp;#039;t reveal whether Starbucks will sell the rings to customers directly. Eager to see this technology at your favorite location? You can track the rollout here.
