Roundup of Kickstarter Apple-related projects for 5/16
For many tech startups, Kickstarter is a great way to raise funding to get a new company off the ground. Each week, TUAW takes a close look at recent Apple-related Kickstarter projects for those of you interested in supporting one of the many entrepreneurs who are waiting to bring the next big thing to market. SoundJaw Sound Booster This little device is the brainstorm of Denver-based MBA candidate and would-be entrepreneur Matt McLachlan. The idea behind the SoundJaw Sound Booster is to direct the sound from the speakers of the iPad and iPhone towards a user who is looking at the screen. Matt came up with a small plastic device that clips onto the thin profile of an iPad 2 and directs the speaker sound to the front of the iPad. The SoundJaw also works with the original iPad, and the Kickstarter page says that it's also iPhone compatible. The project currently has 30 backers for a total of US$831, and it needs $7,000 by June 7, 2011 to be fully funded. Pledge $20 and you'll get a SoundJaw when, and if, manufacturing starts.
