Pound Nine Wire “Kickstarts” Funding Campaign

Last week we had talked about the Pound Nine Wire, a tiny device that displays snippets of news in real time. You might remember that we mentioned their upcoming Kickstarter campaign that would help them mass produce their product and ship them to backers. Today they have begun their Kickstarter campaign that will continue until December 31st. They have a set a pledge goal of $40,000.


The limited (200) early bird backing scheme will help you get your own Pound Nine Wire for as low as $59 which is much cheaper than the retail price of $119. If you miss out on that you have to shell out $99. There is also a proposition of a dual device offer for $188 which will earn you two Pound Nine Wires. The company estimates that it will be able to ship the devices to certain parts of the world by May 2016.

If you wish to fund them head over to their Kickstarter page and click on the embedded link below to know more.

Perfect device for us as we never get chance to dedicate special time for the news and if using Twitter it's flooded with so many tweets. This device is providing very nice filter of the category. Backed this project and booked one for our office use. 👍

Umm, I'm not very comfortable with a new device that displays news snippets. Why not install an app on the phone that shows the snippets right on the lock-screen?

Using this device if you finds that yes I want to read more about this news then there is button you can press it and that will lead to full news coverage on your mobile.

Mobile phone may lead me to do something else as there will be other notifications also. While this device can just stay on your desk all the time and you can still keep working on your things.
