schwinn cyclenav
With cycling growing in popularity it comes as no surprise that attention is turning to the two-wheeled enthusiast in the tech world. Unveiled in 2014 in the USA, the Schwinn CycleNav is one of the first attempts by a known brand to tap into the lucrative satellite navigation corner of the cycling world. Priced at $60 on average, it is expected for release around the world early 2015 and worth watching out for.

The CycleNav comes as a mountable plastic unit and attaches to the handlebars. Using Bluetooth connectivity, it communicates with your mobile phone via the Cycle Map app and plots your chosen route. Then, using three green LED arrows facing the rider on top of the device, you’ll be directed through flashing indications and voice command as you ride. The app will also calculate projected calorie burn, estimated time of arrival and more. If you miss a direction, simply hit the repeat button.

With an internal rechargeable battery that lasts up to ten hours, compatibility with android and Apple technology and with waterproof resistance, this could well be for you. There is suggestion the device lacks aesthetic appeal and quality finish, but this is only suggestion while we wait for UK release and price confirmation.

from navigation to investigation
Missing something? Has somebody at work been pinching the M&M’s from your desk drawer? You should consider the Desk Clock Spy Camera! Disguised as a basic desk top clock, bung this among the junk and use the built in HD motion activated camera to record. With two hours recording battery life, 30FPS, 32GB micro SD card and 1280x960 resolution, this is a great buy at £25-28 on average.

lego chima laval torch
For kids this month try the Lego Chima Laval Torch night light. With a price range of £12-£30 it really does seem to differ on cost so have a look around for the best deal. This night light features a chest plate that, once pressed, illuminates the feet of Laval (prince of the Lion Tribe). Detachable from the base for torch-only function and with a 30 minute shut off timer, this could be the answer to a good night’s sleep for your Lego loving young ones, and you – a price worth paying!

UPDATE:
Apple have now confirmed a release date of April 2015 for the Apple Smart Watch.
