Garmin Marine Echo 150

Now here’s a little gadget that’ll really float your boat. Well, help it navigate safely to a great fishing spot, at least... The Garmin Marine Echo 150 from Garmin Distribution Africa is a fisherman’s dream! It’s dual-beam technology at a single-beam price.

It features 200 watts (RMS) of sonar power, which lets you accurately scan to depths of up to 396m in freshwater and 154m in saltwater. And with a viewing angle of up to 120 degrees in shallower water, the Marine Echo 150 lets you see fish well beyond the sides of your boat.

The 5 inch Dell Streak tablet runs on Android 2.2, with a multi-touch display with scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass. Make phone calls, email and SMS or enjoy rich media content. It features a rear-facing 5MP camera with autofocus and dual LED flash or the front-facing VGA camera for video and stills. You can easily upload content to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, and you have access to the Kindle store and more than 700 000 e-books. The display detects your facial proximity and adjusts its brightness (which also extends the battery life). The Streak has Wi-Fi, 3G and Bluetooth connectivity.

Waterproof up to 3 metres, the Kodak Playsport ZX3 will film under-water action in 1 080p HD. It is capable of shooting stills in 16:9 widescreen HD with its 5MP camera, and it’s rugged enough to withstand the occasional bump. The ZX3 comes in a variety of funky colours – white, black, blue and purple – and has a high-contrast 5.1 centimetre colour LCD screen. You can increase its storage capacity to 32GB (SD/SDHC card slot), offering 10 hours of footage that you can screen with the HDMI cable with which the Playsport ZX3 comes packaged. Hook it up to your computer via USB, then edit and add cool effects to your clips, including voice-over commentary.
