Pressy: An Android Shortcut Button


Pressy is a tiny physical button that plugs into the headphone jack of your Android device.  By creating custom settings within the Pressy app, you can use custom click-combinations to activate programmable functions on your device.  


With unique clicks of the button, you can turn on your flashlight or take a picture -- all without having to unlock your phone or start a certain app.  As a shortcut, I see myself using this daily, whether it's starting My Tracks before a jog or starting my podcast app while on a drive.  Pressy is a step back from the touchscreen controls found increasingly on new devices, but I like the quick, simple, and customizable potential for my phone.  Check out the Kickstarter page for more info.
