Gadget 7: the need-to-know specs

By Lebogang Mogashoa
August 14th, 2008

We look at seven travel-friendly items that will add a new dimension to your holiday.

The Get	Specs	Objective	Our Verdict
	iPod shuffle 2GB 12 hours play back Battery indicator Headphone jack R799.95	A nifty way to carry your music if you don't want the bigger iPods. It's easy to carry; you can attach it to your clothes and forget it's there. And of course it shuffles the playlists.	It's very light. You can run, play and sleep with it attached securely on your person. But we have to get used to the lack of screen. That's the compromise.

	Tevo shoX 52 x 6,5mm 52g Built in lithium battery Audio and USB cable R199, 95	It's the tiny speaker you wished you had. It even has a "sub woofer" quality. It fits iPods, MP3 players, computers, consoles, everything else with a standard 3, 5mm stereo socket	We're taking this to the beach this summer. We see teenagers falling all over this but that's not enough to make it damaged goods.

	Toshiba Satellite U400 9. 7 x 5. 7 cm display 480 x 272 pixels Rechargeable battery Voice prompts 190g R4299.95	Not only is it a great fashionable looker that weighs just less than 2kg. It comes with a built in cam and a large memory. And it travels easily at just 13, 3 inches.	This machine is compulsory. We like that it's tiny enough to be included when travelling light, and the built in webcam is great for staying in touch.

	Garmin Nuvi 710 Model No. eB 3710 Weight: 70g Dimension: 88x39x37mm Cost: R3999.95 USB connector	This navigational system has too many features to mention. Preloaded maps, route planning, locating abilities, in short everything you need to get where you need to be.	Maps are horrible and popular argument sparks during travelling. So navigational systems are the way to go. We like the peace of mind.

	Nintendo DS Lite Two backlit LCD screens 3D graphics Touch screen 3 inch screens 19 hours R1799.99	The gaming gadget meant to lure even your grandmother into gaming. The games include even the simplest puzzles. It's smaller, sleeker and more intelligent than the original.	We've never been into gaming all that much. But the Nintendo DS Lite offers so many distractions and brain teasers that it's hard to travel without it.

	Sony Alpha A350 14.2 megapixels High sensitivity Noise reduction Tiltable LCD screen Anti-dust technology R8999.0	A camera for the serious photographers amongst us. It has such genius capabilities like live subject preview, and who ever heard of continuous shooting while viewing.	This camera practically thinks for you, so of course we want it. It's the kind of camera that kind make us forget the trip because it will be spent behind the lens.

	PowerMonkey Emergency Charger Model No. eB 3710 Weight: 70g Dimension: 88x39x37mm Cost: R370.95 USB connector	Imagine being able to charge your phone anywhere, anytime? That's what this tiny gadget doe. You can use it to charge you iPod (40 hours), cell phone (96 hours), digital camera (1600), PSP	We think this is a genius product. It's light and easy to pack and it's going to solve so many travel emergencies. We're even getting one for the office.
