Heading for SA’s shores in late February, the PS Vita is the evolution of PlayStation’s PSP. The big news: connectivity – like tablets and e-readers, the Vita comes in a Wi-Fi and a Wi-Fi/3G model. And it’s not just a portable gaming device. The Vita comes loaded with social networking apps, front and rear cameras and GPS and supports the most popular media file formats. Design-wise, it’s the sleekest handheld on the market by far.

It’s the Nokia phone everyone’s been waiting for – the first with Windows – and marks a comeback for the smartphone giant. Running the “Mango” version of the operating system, it’s styled very much like the sleek Nokia N9, although with a slightly smaller display at 3.7 inches. Other features include a 1.4GHz Snapdragon processor for zippy performance, an 8MP Carl Zeiss optics camera and 16GB storage. Nokia are keeping mum about the exact launch date and pricing in SA, but we’re looking at a February release.

They’re calling it “audio jewellery”, and the GLA-55s are the prettiest speakers ever to grace your desktop. Despite their size (about 14cm x 27cm), they pump out some serious-quality sounds. The GLA-55 speakers also have a 3.5mm output, which means they’ll hook up to most audio devices, including your computer, tablet or MP3 player. We found the best price over at Megagraphix.co.za.

What we really love about the half-tablet half-smartphone Galaxy Note is the huge gorgeous screen – 5.3 inches of HD quality Super AMOLED. You can scroll through your content using touch technology, or the S Pen stylus that comes with the handset. The S Pen also lets you crop photos, make notes on the screen, draw diagrams and tick off your To Do list.
