Pebble Technology launched a Kickstarter campaign aimed at raising $100,000 for producing a limited run of their Pebble Smartwatch, which allows users to play music and make calls from their wrist using iOS and Android integration. In addition, the watch allows texting via Android, as well as the ability to run its own apps, including cycling and running speedometers and a rangefinder.
The project proved so popular that it raised a staggering $1,000,000 in just 28 hours, which left the team behind the watch absolutely ecstatic. The company says they’re “laser-focused on getting this watch onto your wrist as soon as possible”, and will provide additional updates soon.

I’ve never understood why someone who owns a sleek, sexy smartphone woud want to attach it to one of those old-school handset receiver accessories (Lenny Kravitz, I’m talking to you). I appreciate the nostalgia, but it looks ridiculous. However, to really take douchebaggery to the next level, you’ll need a holster for it. Shockingly enough, one actually exists.

Back in June, we told you about David Brown’s BodyGuard Armored Gauntlet that features a built-in 500,000 volt stun gun. Since then they’ve made some upgrades and, realizing that you might want to make a call or post a tweet while you’re subduing a criminal, an armored iPhone dock has been included. This is in addition to it’s standard video camera, laser pointer and flashlight.
There’s no info on pricing, but you can probably guess that something like this won’t come cheap.

Here’s great news for slobs: Ross Nanotechnology has created a silicon-based superhydrophobic spray called “NeverWet” that can make liquids and heavy oils “shoot off” anything it’s applied to. In addition, the spray also prevents corrosion and keeps surfaces free of bacteria, making “ovens, toilet plungers and bed pans a cinch to clean”. Project leader Andy Jones stated that the product could also work to protect electronics:
“I sprayed my iPhone with NeverWet, submerged it in a foot of water for 30 minutes, took it out and it was good to go. Jones said.”
Although a release date hasn’t been revealed, Jones said he expects to see some significant product launches in early 2012, which would include the first retail version of NeverWet for use by consumers.
Hit the jump to see NeverWet in action.
