Pressy adds an awesomely useful button to your Android phone [Video]

August 31st - via: techshout.com

Pressy is a Fully-Funded Kickstarter Project That Adds Functionality to Your Headphone Jack

August 29th - via: droid-life.com
Pressy, a project on Kickstarter that already reached its $40,000 goal, has the Internet going crazy. The device/accessory is a pretty great idea, though. Pressy fits right into your phone’s audio jack, which then allows you to perform tasks with a few simple taps on its button. What’s even sweeter is that when you have your headphones plugged in, and not Pressy, you can use your headphone’s button (if they have one) to perform the tasks. I suggest watching the video, because explaining it better than they have would be impossible. (Read More)
