PRESSY
Our old cell phones had around 15 buttons . Not enough for us fussy people. We wanted a full Qwerty keyboard.And when we got that,we changed our minds again.We didn't want any buttons at all.Now,with touchscreens becoming a mainstay,some of us are missing the tactile feel of.... yes,you guessed right buttons!
Thanks to graphics designer Boaz Mendel and the application developer Nimrod Black ,you now have the Pressy.Dubbed the Almighty Android Button,it connects to your smartphone via the 3.5mm headphone jack
And you can customize it via the free pressy app to perform your most used everyday actions.For example-you could use it as a shutter release button for your camera.
The Pressy-shipping begins in March 2014-costs $27 and for an additional $5 the Israel based company will deliver it to India.There'll be just one question that'll vex you when you use it: Where the heck do you connect your earphones?Hah! Don't ask me.You wanted that extra button :-)

CHIPOLO
Chipolos use low power Bluetooth technology to help you find your stuff.They can be attached to car keys,laptops,backpacks,handbags,whatever.All you have to do is make sure that you have paired these colourful discs with the app-Android and iOS on your smartphone.Later if this stuff gets misplaced ,you can use the app to track it up to a radius of 60m.Chipolos are also equipped to record current temperature and the dashboard on your phone can give you a 24 hour log,as well as sound alerts when the temperature goes below or above a set value.Future plans include creating a dynamic network of Chipolos to relay data beyond 60metres.Nifty, no? Since these look like lockets you can also use them to tag your dog or your boyfriend ;)A single Chipolo deliver in early 2014 can be ordered for 24 Euros plus 7 Euros for shipping.A small price ,I think to keep your doggy or boyfriend from straying
