Apple’s move to open up system-wide access to third-party keyboards has been a huge boon for developers and users alike. While SwiftKey is perhaps the star attraction from the keyboard realm on iOS 8, there are a number of alternatives. Niche and otherwise. The latest one to hit our radar is ThickButtons, an app that’s been available on Android for a few years already, notching up almost one million downloads along the way. ThickButtons does exactly what it says on the box, and is aimed at helping multi-touch smartphone users – and in particular those with big hands/fingers – type…

Raspberry Pi Model A+
Good news for makers, tinkerers and mini-computer fans. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced a new, slimmed-down, perked-up version of its low-end Model A board. The Raspberry Pi Model A+ is available now and costs just $20 (£20 in the UK). That’s $5 less than the Model A, which has now been discontinued. Though it sticks with the same processor (a Broadcom BCM2835 SoC) and amount of RAM (256MB) as before, the difference with the Raspberry Pi Model A+ is the size. At just 2.6in long versus its predecessor’s 3.4in, the Model A+ can be incorporated into even more projects….
