Notebook computers have been around in one form or another ever since the launch of the IBM 5100 back in 1975, and although the portable and compact machines that we have in modern times like the MacBook Air or ultrabook are far more advanced, light and mobile than that original IBM machine, the concept of a portable computer has been around for more than thirty-five years. Although laptop computers have developed significantly in the last three decades, we still have that need to protect and look after our large investment, which is where the designer of the VIVAX notebook case is hoping to become relevant through Kickstarter.
The iPad is a great product, but like all great products, it doesn't come without its fair share of flaws. Despite single-handedly helming the tablet market for the past two-and-a-half years, we could all pick out issues we'd like to see resolved, and one of the most obvious is the relatively poor speaker design. With the iPhone, the speakers are positioned along the bottom, meaning whichever way you lay it down, the audio - albeit slightly tinny - can always be heard. The iPad's speakers are located on the back of the device, and even though Apple has improved the sound quality through generations of its flagship slate, pushing sound out in the opposite direction doesn't cut it for a device of the iPad's caliber.
Top Charms Kickstarter Project Lets Users Wear Their Favorite Pictures And Share To Facebook [VIDEO]
Majority of us today have some form of extremely active online life that involves interacting and sharing information with people via multiple social networks. Online outlets like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook allows us to connect with the world around with us in a way that has never been possible before, but sometimes it all feels just a little too virtual. The Top Charms Kickstarter project is a nice and quirky way of bringing a section of our virtual world into reality, by letting backers wear and show off images and photographs that matter to them.
The FORM 1 Kickstarter project from Formlabs may have already surpassed its funding target by huge margins but that doesn't mean potential pledgers should miss the opportunity to get their hands on an early bird edition of the rather gorgeous and powerful high-resolution 3D printer. 3D printing is often conceived as being an extremely expensive and complicated hobby or business to get into, which appears to be an ill-conceived perception if this Kickstarter project is anything to go by.
Upon its arrival to market in early 2010, Apple's iPad really changed the way we compute, and where we became used to fold-out structure complete with a physical keyboard, the fruit company's offering was purely touch-based.
I will be open and confess my love for not only Instagram but anything that makes an attempt to use the Instagram API and make a rather awesome product on the back of it. I got on board with Instagram from the beginning and have been sharing photographs with my followers ever since directly from iOS on my iPhone and Android from the Nexus 7. Such is my love for Instagram that I also tend to sign-up for anything related to it, such as Webagram and Instacanvas, so when the Instacube Kickstarter project presented itself, I had to become a part of it.
We’ve seen plenty of rumors and reports of Apple introducing an iPhone with a physical keyboard over the years. The latest of such rumors came in February last year when a Taiwanese blog claimed that an iPhone 5 (now known as the iPhone 4S) with a slide-out physical keyboard was being tested.
Although I'm not much of a gamer myself, I do often enjoy rolling back the years by wiping the dust off my old SNES or SEGA Genesis and reminiscing on what it used to be like to play the classic retro games. The simple graphics look terrible nowadays compared even with my iPhone, let alone the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, and although there's always a little anticipation before playing the old favorites, more often than not, disappointment soon follows.
Ever wished you could use any smartphone or tablet as a laptop? WINGStand, something as obvious as a simple stand for the aforementioned devices, including iPhones and iPads, might enable you to do just that very elegantly.
We're sure everyone remembers the Microsoft Courier, the much-anticipated though ultimately cancelled dual-screen tablet. The idea was an intriguing one - two screens and an operating system that utilized both pen and gesture inputs. It was funky, but Microsoft said they could never put it into production and a little bit of every geek on the planet died along with it. If only our iPads could recreate some of that magic.
