I know, I know, we’ve been very heavy on phones as of late, between all of the iPhone coverage, and some other Android-related things. However, it just feels like there’s a lot of energy in that segment of the tech world, and I’m going to keep covering the stuff I find interesting. One of the latest I ran across over on Kickstarter is the Teracube.

Tesmo wants to give your laptop a little lift
Seems like ergonomics were all the rage. We had wrist wrists, mouse pads with gel built in, and all manner of things. For our keyboards, along with the split design, we’ve long had the ability to flip out little legs to adjust the typing angle. If you’re relying on the keyboard built into your latop, though, you were stuck. At least, until the Tesmo was thought up.

Now Kickstarting: Moonrakers
Make no mistake – while we here at KN dig tech and gadgets, there’s something about the tactile pleasure (and table talk) of a good ol’ tabletop game. Of course, with the technology known as crowdfunding, we can find out there are a lot more options out there. One of the latest to ping my radar screen is Moonrakers.

Portable computing power – not just for tablets anymore
When it comes to portable devices that fit in your pocket, we tend to think of things like gaming systems (Switch Lite, anyone? Or Evercade?), or maybe a tablet.

That’s where the Pocket PC – now funding on Indiegogo – comes in.

This isn’t any old iPad dongle – it’s the BoltHub
You may have noticed a bit of a pro-Apple slant in our coverage as of late. Some of that is due to the hardware each of us most commonly uses in our daily life (and our day jobs), and some of it also has to do with the clever innovation going on. While non-Cupertino devices offer a lot of flexibility, I’d say Apple devices leave a lot of room for the aftermarket to come up with interesting solutions. One of those is the BoltHub.

Do you need a travel-ready second monitor?
The answer to that question – for most of us – is probably a resounding “no”. That doesn’t mean that I don’t find myself – against all odds – more than a little curious about what the MageDok brings to the table.

Now Funding: the Qi-enabled TuffyPack
Cell phones are an all-but-indispensable part of most of our lives. Given their utility, being able to have a full charge throughout the day has drawn folks to the idea of battery pack phone cases, rather than carrying a separate battery. Makes sense, you’ve always got it with you, ready to top the phone off. One drawback is the large bump most introduce to the profile of our thin phones. Addressing that issue is the new TuffyPack.

Norshire is here to PUMP you UP (tires! pump up your tires.)
Under-inflated tires are a safety problem at worst. At best, they ruin your gas mileage. Neither are great, but stopping at the gas station and paying to use their broken air pump sucks, too. Norshire solves this for you, by making the world’s smallest tire inflator.

You say you want a more complex “digital” watch? Then the YES Watch has you covered

Sure, you’ll get the standard day and date functionality, along with a time, stopwatch, and count up / count down tracking. But the Yes WorldWatch V7 has more up it’s sleeve, and it just brought a fun new twist to the table.
