3Portable USB charger<br />
Need to make that<br />
urgent call but<br />
find your phone’s<br />
battery is flat? You no longer need to go into a<br />
coffee shop, buy a R40 cup of coffee just so you<br />
can use their wall plug to recharge. Get yourself<br />
a portable USB charger. For instance, the<br />
Adata PT<strong>10</strong>0 Power Bank offers high-capacity<br />
<strong>10</strong>000mAh charging via two USB outlets<br />
that allows you to charge your smartphone<br />
and tablet simultaneously and quickly. This is<br />
capacity enough for up to 5 full charges on some<br />
smartphones, and 1.5 charges on some tablets.<br />
It also comes with a handy LED flashlight to<br />
light up your mobile life. There are also a number<br />
of other similar products available in South<br />
Africa from portable charger suppliers.<br />
4AirSelfie<br />
Drone<br />
If you love to take<br />
selfies of yourself and<br />
your friends while<br />
travelling, here’s just<br />
the thing for you. The<br />
AirSelfie Drone is a<br />
pocket-sized drone<br />
packed with a 5-megapixel camera, 3-minute<br />
flying time and self-generated Wi-Fi. While you<br />
and your friends hang precariously over the edge<br />
of Table Mountain for that pic of a lifetime, fly<br />
the little drone up to 20 meters above or away<br />
and capture that full-view selfie that shows it<br />
all: you, your friends, the mountain, and the city<br />
and bay far below. It makes the old selfie stick<br />
look so obsolete! And they really don’t cost<br />
much.<br />

who likes to read away<br />
the time spent travelling<br />
on planes, you most likely<br />
long ago got yourself en<br />
