Thermodo Thermometer Attaches To Your Smartphone

Just when you thought that you have already seen it all when it comes to smartphone accessories, here we are with a Kickstarter project that you might want to invest in the Thermodo, which is a small thermometer that does not make use of mercury, which is subsequently attached to the 3.5mm jack on your smartphone. Not only that, dropping some money for the Thermodo will not break the bank, considering how it costs just $19 to make a pledge.
The Thermodo thermometer is tipped to roll out this coming August, assuming everything goes according to plan. Of course, those who want to fork out at least $25 for it will be able to enjoy free shipping too. The Thermodo thermometer is equipped with a keychain, letting you bring it around wherever you are.

Facebook is releasing photo sync for iOS to the general Facebook community, after months of testing.
The new feature, available for Android and the iPhone, automatically uploads photos taken on a smartphone to a private album on a user's Facebook profile. Those photos can then be removed, kept private, or shared publicly. A total of 2GB worth of photos can be stored from mobile devices.
Facebook said it began testing photo sync in August and "will continue to make it available to more people."
