iPin turns your smartphone into a smart laser pointer

The iPin plugs into an iPhone's headphone port; for Android users, it plugs into the micro USB port. The related app is then downloaded and used to control the presentation itself, offering things like a countdown timer, mouse tracking pad, and paging. This can also be mirrored to other displays for audience members to watch.

The iPin and app are joined by the BTtogo dongle, which brings the presentation to PCs and Macs without the hassle of installing other programs or setting up the presentation over WiFi -- making it a better choice for those times you'll be using borrowed systems or computers at a facility that isn't your own.

iPin has exceeded its $10,000 goal on Indiegogo, currently sitting a bit over $41,000 USD with a month or so remaining. The price depends on which version you get: the iPhone iPin with a BTtogo dongle requires a $65 pledge, for example, while an iPin by itself for Android is $25. Shipping is set to start some time next month.
