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.

Until then, wallets like the handmade Nerd Herder will have to hold all of our cash and cards—only this particular wallet is special in the respect that it can also secure our portable electronics. Indeed, the Nerd Herder Gadget Wallet has pockets that are perfect for storing a smartphone or MP3 player as well as SD cards, flash drives and more.
