New iPhone accessory adapter called PIECE brings wireless Dual-SIM capabilities to iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and even Android smartphones.
A new Kickstarter project aims to take the advantages of the MagSafe charger and bring it to Lightning and micro-USB devices like the iPhone, iPad and Android Samsung Galaxy lineup.
As technology enthusiasts, most of us are fascinated by the booting of operating systems on devices that the software mightn't necessarily be familiar with. There's a massive market for software products that facilitate, say, OS X on a PC and likewise, Windows on a Mac. Console OS, which seeks to bring a genuine Android experience to Intel-based machines, has announced its intention to bring the infrastructure to the Surface Pro line-up, including the Surface Pro 3.
The evolution of the brilliant Pebble wrist wear has been nothing short of remarkable since its hugely successful Kickstarter campaign. Companies like LG and Samsung have also taken the time to try and take advantage of the flourishing industry by showing off their own products before the much-speculated "iWatch" from Apple hits the shelves. These intelligent time pieces are all well and good, but can sometimes be a little bit overkill for the needs of some users. If that is the situation you find yourself in then the Glance Kickstarter campaign by Kiwi Wearables is definitely worth a look.
One of the ongoing battles we face as smartphone owners is in retaining enough power to keep us going throughout an entire day, and for mobile users - particularly those on iPhone - there are quite literally hundreds of products out there that can help to keep our devices sufficiently juiced up. But a new Kickstarter campaign offers a solution quite unique to our eye, with a lightweight frame enveloping the device to support the clip-on, modular battery pack.
For most Android owners, transferring data the old-fashioned way is fairly easy. The majority of devices are equipped with microSD card slots, and data can easily be moved to and from a smartphone or tablet. iPhone users don't have this luxury, but we have, in recent times, seen a marked increase in the number of removable storage peripherals available from third parties. Now Hyper - a revered maker of iAccessories - has come through with the iStick, a MFi (Made for iPhone) gadget that features in-built USB and Lightning connectors.
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.
If you've ever been faced with the daunting challenge of having to lift up to 50 pounds of weight into mid-air, and suspend it there for a period of time, then you'll know it can prove difficult. Sure, if you have the right tools and equipment then the hassle and stress can be removed, but let's be honest here, who actually has a winch based system set up in their home or work place? Thankfully the worlds of Kickstarter, smartphones and Bluetooth LE have smashed together in a collision that has produced the myLIFTER, a smart and powerful lifting device that can be controlled directly from a Bluetooth 4.0 LE compatible iOS device.
If you've be the owner of an iPhone for any length of time, the chances are you've had that heart-stopping moment when said iPhone has slipped from your grasp, or been knocked off a table. Cue that anguished look on your face as you gaze helplessly at your expensive smartphone as it tumbles towards, invariably, the world's hardest flooring. Why is it never nice thick carpet, anyway?
Kickstarter often throws up some intriguing products, particularly of the tech variety, but seldom do we see the kind of buzz and excitement around a start-up project than with Pressy, an Android-targeting peripheral recently launched on the site. With the initial goal already met five times over in the first two days alone, it's fair to say that this tiny device has the potential to become something huge, and if you read on, you'll find out just why.
