Qi is well supported in almost every wi-power device. Nearly every phone that supports wireless power today, already uses Qi, including already released devices from Samsung, LG, Nokia, BlackBerry, Motorola, and many others over the last two years.
PMA / PowerMat is the odd man out. The only time I see it used is when Duracell pays for it (either in their own Powermat line, or their agreements with folks AT&T requiring companies to make Powermat devices like http://bit.ly/UwhZ2R )
I was really hoping that this wouldn't end up being another drawn out compatibility war, and since 99% of the momentum and device support is behind Qi already, it seems efficient to let Qi win.
Of course, if Apple releases PMA in the next iPhone, PMA will win by default, no matter how late they choose to release it.
