The beauty of Kickstarter is that it makes it possible for people to launch products that would normally never see the light of day. In the technology arena especially, we've seen all kinds of awesome and not-so-awesome things come out of the crowd-sourcing funding machine that is Kickstarter. We're not really sure which side of that fence we're going to put the SlatePro desk just yet, but it sure looks nice.

Living in a world where our smartphones are the center of our lives may not be too far away, but being able to place it on a table and have it start doing all kinds of magical things wasn't on our list of wants for that utopian future. At least, it wasn't until Pizza Hut got in on the act.
The great thing about the fast-moving nature of the mobile industry is that, at any given time, there's something to be looking forward to. We've spent the last few months lusting after the Samsung Galaxy S5, and with the Mobile World Congress announcement of the upgraded device now done and dusted, we're now left to pine for HTC's next big thing. Technically known as the 'M8', the follow-up to the HTC One will be announced later on this month, and thanks to a revelation made via the Evleaks Twitter handle, it looks like its Taiwanese maker has also been working on an interesting case for its soon-to-be-showcased asset.
Twitter may not be the biggest social network thanks to the medium of Facebook, but for passing on quick thoughts and musings, it's certainly the most convenient. Keeping things under 140 characters, The Twitters has become famous for its here-and-now approach to social media, and while smartphones make it even easier to send out a tweet at the drop of a hat, a new and updated version of the TwitkaFly tweak, which is TwitkaFly for iOS 7 aims to enhance things even further. Compatible with both the official Twitter app and the popular Tweetbot, TwitkaFly is a nifty quick-compose utility that can be thrown up anywhere on a device through a predetermined activation method, and with a bunch of different themes, fits nicely in with whatever aesthetic you're trying to achieve.

If a new messaging app of choice is on your agenda, and security is of high priority, then check out our list of the top secure messaging apps available right now for iPhone.
It's quite a sorry state of affairs when a company like BlackBerry - a major player in the smartphone industry only a few years ago - must resort to taking cheap shots at the market leaders in order to score itself some headline coverage. The demise of the Canadian outfit has been well documented in recent times, and with its market share having plummeted to the point where Windows Phone has just overtaken it, many of BlackBerry's head honchos have fallen victim to a major reshuffle. John Chen recently replaced Thorsten Heins as CEO, but instead of brimming with new ideas as to how BlackBerry can turn its fortunes around, he has instead begun his career by labeling iPhone users as "wall-huggers."
We've all been in the predicament whereby we're so consumed by work at our desktops that we forget to charge our mobile devices, and when the time to leave just seems to creep up on us, we're left cursing the fact that we'll have to spend the remainder of the day rationing those precious last few droplets of juice. But while a battery alert is easy enough to miss or ignore when we're frantically trying to keep atop our email inboxes or compose documents, desktop notifications are a little harder to shake off. With this in mind, iBetterCharge seeks to ensure that we don't leave our iPhone or iPad bereft of battery by pushing alerts straight to the OS X Notification Center, and not only does the app presents itself as a novel idea, but it's also executed to perfection.
