Wi-Pi : Wireless Dongle for the Raspberry Pi

Since the Raspberry Pi doesn't come with a built-in Wireless Network Interface Card, it is ideal for most users to buy a wireless dongle for the Pi. But which is the perfect dongle for the Pi? The problem with buying a wireless dongle that works with Windows and Macintosh is that it usually don't work with the Pi, unless there are some third party developers who have written drivers to accommodate the dongle with the Raspberry Pi. I used a TP-Link Wireless Dongle for the Pi, and it was quite hard trying to look for the drivers for the Pi online.

To efficiently solve the issue, Element14 offers a perfect solution for users who are looking for using wireless connection on their Raspberry Pi. The Wi-Pi wireless dongle allows a hassle free setup and connection to your home wireless network! Here are some of the photos I have taken with the Wi-Pi!

Pebble 2.0 and Pebble App Store Launch

Pebble has confirmed on their release of their App Store for iOS devices this coming Monday. The long awaited App Store allows Pebble users to download and install custom watch faces written by Pebble Developers, and at the same time allow users to write their very own watch face and host it on their App Store for free. The development stage of Pebble 2.0 is now at Release Candidate 2 (RC2) and I guess it would be the final phase of the 2.0 development. Stay tuned for the coverage of the launch of Pebble 2.0 through my Twitter @mrclarencechng.
