Details can be found after the break.
Crowdfunding sites like Indiegogo and Kickstarter are a great way for individuals and groups to take an idea to the masses, and in the past few years, we've seen some truly weird, wonderful and genuinely innovative products and services grow from a simple video and description to items used by millions. As impressed as we've been, a new iPhone/Android-controlled paper Airplane proves once again that we can be surprised and inspired all at one, and when you've seen the clip of it in action, you'll see why it has already smashed its funding goal several times over with over eight weeks still to run.

As soon as news of a smartphone begins to leak, the case makers are already on the task, looking to cash in on those early adopters.

We all thought that writing down notes was dying off, especially with services like Evernote fast becoming the place where we put just about everything. Note-taking has become a much more digital experience these days, and jotting things down on an iPhone or iPad is just a way of life for many of us. But that doesn't mean that there isn't still a place for the humble pen, especially if there's a good way to combine the traditional act of handwriting notes with the highly organized, highly digital way that Evernote users would keep track of their notes. That's where Livescribe comes in.
Apart from all the great features which iOS 7 brings to the table, it also includes a bunch of cool APIs for accessory makers.

iOS 7 is being touted at the biggest innovation in the history of iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices, and rightly so, because the kind of feature and visual overhaul that this version of the OS brings to Apple’s fantastic hardware is unparalleled.

Such is the case with a special genre of iHardware cases, whereby known as the gaming cases. Since they interact with software at a very integral level, such an update was bound to have an effect. And now, GameCase appears to have emerged as the first-ever official iOS 7 gaming case for devices running iOS.

You can now get Apple’s very own Lightning docks for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, being sold through the Apple Store.
