Fleksy has been doing a good job in keeping users engaged through various features and offers that they’ve been launching the past few months. The virtual keyboard market, while small, is incredibly competitive, and so you’d need all the marketing leverage to get a leg up on your peers. The latest thing that Fleksy has done is to launch a theme design contest so designers and users can experiment with the look of the app and get the chance to actually have it published.

If you haven’t been satisfied with the keyboard themes that Fleksy is offering, then you now have a chance to tell them what you think would look really cool. Once all the entries are already in, Fleksy will then choose their 15 favorite designs and post them online, giving users now the chance to vote for what they think is the most “fleksellent” of the submitted designs. The five most popular themes will then be added to the theme store and actually be downloaded by Fleksy users.

The virtual keyboard has recently announced that they will be free forever, meaning users from all platforms will be able to download and use it without purchasing anything. They’ve also added a Highlights feature, where the most popular GIFs, stickers and other rich content can be found when you click the auto-recommend hashtag.

While the app is free itself, it still has an app store where you can purchase extra features and themes. No word though if the winning themes will be free or will cost us a tiny bit to have. Deadline for submission of entries is July 17, 5PM PST.

Google’s Inbox by Gmail apparently has a new feature: when you go to email yourself an important thought or task, the app will attempt to get you to create an actual reminder over sending yourself an email.

The prompt appears right after typing your email address in the “To” field. If you tap on the prompt, any text you’ve added in the subject and body of the email will be quickly transferred over to the reminder, and all you have to do is tap “Save.”

While it’s nothing ground breaking, it’s a cool little feature, and it makes a lot of sense, as Inbox already has some neat integration with reminders. However, it’d be nice to see Google go even further with this feature and offer it in Gmail itself.

Toram Online is a new MMORPG for all of you gamers out there to sink your gaming teeth into. The game is a continuation and/or expansion of sorts from Iruna Online – if some of you are familiar with that MMORPG. The game has been in beta for quite a bit, so it’s good to finally see the wraps off and the game now available to most people.

It helps to appreciate that Toram Online’s beta was mostly done in the Japanese language. That the game is now out via Google Play means most of the content should now be translated to English. The game itself is not the card battle or collectible MMORPG that seems to be the trend these days. It is a standard MMORPG, with character creation, skill selection, dungeon crawling, levelling up and all the MMORPG good stuff.

The plot is standard fare for MMORPGs – it tells of a cataclysmic event that split the ground and also split the nations. People of the world are divided into four groups, regardless of race. You then get to do adventuring by facing off with underworld creatures and over-ground journeys. Build your experience up, get the nice items from your loot, sell the others for money. Pretty standard, but usually fun for those who appreciate a good MMORPG.

You can play the game alone, but there will be bosses and areas where the strength of monsters will require partying up with others. The game is free to download, certainly with IAPs but not required purchases – you can finish the game without spending. Since the game is just recently out of beta, expect some typos and translation mistakes in the content. Those should be reported so that they can be fixed in future patches and updates.

What happens when you want to make a custom handbag with some handy tech features, and have access to a nice laser cutter? You end up doing what [Christian] did: design a assemble a Woman’s Handbag made of Laser-Cut Leather with iPhone charger and LED Light.

The design of the bag was made in Adobe Illustrator and sent off to a Epilog Legend 36EXT laser cutter located in the hackerspace located near [Christian] in Vienna. Once the parts were precision cut, traditional leather sewing methods were used to assemble the handbag (with a little help from a shoe cobbler).

The interior of the bag was lined with old blue jeans and a white LED, which is wired and held into place with conductive thread. Powered by a coin cell and controlled by your choice of a button, or a slide switch, the light helps locating items in the deep bag.

Slide a standard USB battery pack in one of the pockets of the old jeans and you are ready for a night out on the town. Join us after the break for a video showing the design, construction and features of this practical project.

Apple makes money hand over fist and water is wet, but just how wet Apple’s water is can still be something to behold. Citing an estimate from financial services firm Canaccord Genuity, a report from the Wall Street Journal says Apple raked in 92% of all smartphone profits in Q1 2015, dwarfing second-place Samsung’s 15% share—a number that may soon dwindle further.  Apple turned in those profit figures while selling less than 20% of all handsets worldwide.

The more mathematically inclined might notice that 92%+15%=107%, but these figures take all of the smartphone losers into account, with both Lenovo ( whose numbers include results from subsidiary Motorola …
