There’s no shortage of tech-infused ways to get a meal delivered. Postmates and Deliveroo will pick up a dish from a local restaurant for you; GrubHub, JustEat and the like do the same for takeaway food, while subscription services like NatureBox and Graze can send you a steady stream of snacks. Deliverd is entering the market with a UK-focused service that delivers healthy, freshly prepared lunches – but the interesting part is how they’re prepared, and the advantage this could give the startup against its competition.

The day has finally arrived for Pixelmator fans who have long looked forward to an iPhone version of the app. It is finally here. While Pixelmator wisely decided to tackle an iPad app for its first foray into the mobile space, there was plenty of clamor for an iPhone version — not surprisingly. Pixelmator’s new iPhone app comes complete with photo, drawing and painting tools in addition to letting you work with layers, text, shapes and an assortment of creative elements. TNW got its paws on the pre-release version yesterday, and tried it out on what is now considered a diminutive iPhone 5.

Rather than using proprietary tech like the Chromecast, Lenovo Cast relies on the Wi-Fi alliance’s Miracast standard and DLNA, both of which are supported by most modern Android devices. That means the device should be able to mirror your phone or tablet’s display, acting as a wireless HDMI connection.…
