The Internet has been going crazy for the extendable Curly Cable, and why not? The standard cable that comes with iOS devices is just fine most of the time, but when your gadget runs out of power and you want to keep using it, you’re either stuck within a couple of feet of your computer, or plain out of luck. That will no longer be the case for users of this extendable cable made for Apple’s gadgets; it stretches from 20cm to 1.8m.

Within just a couple of days of being launched on Kickstarter, the Curly Cable reached its goal for funding with two months to spare). As of today, backers have pledged seven times the original goal of $1,500. You can pre-order the Curly Cable by pledging $15 or more on the Kickstarter page, or get it in stores in early 2012.
