Another week, another tech startup getting lots of hype.

Coin, a startup company with a product that allows users to combine all of their credit cards into one credit-card sized electronic device, is this week’s hottest tech news. Backed by a group of angel investors from some of tech’s best-known brands, the startup gained a mountain of coverage when it started a pre-sale for devices that won’t be available until next summer, according to WSJ.com’s Digits blog.
