Fitbit Charge HR - Know your Heart

Electronics Supplements & Vitamins

Add a comment By Andy

Fitbit popped into the wearable technology scene early last year and we invited the flex into our lives with open arms!

The simple little rubber strap gave us so much, like…

  • Activity and Sleep tracking
  • Allowed us live updates of activity progress on our mobile devices
  • It made fitness social and fun
  • And for some it turned into a fashion accessory :P

A year on now, wearable technology has taken huge strides. The chargeHR is the latest from fitbit, and we absolutely love it.

PurePulse is the most prominent feature added to the fitbit tech. It displays continuous, automatic heart rate updates during your workouts. Being able to obtain this information at the flick of a wrist gives users the ability to maintain workout intensity and lets you assess how many calories you've burnt in a session – helping you get the most out of your workouts!

If that new Star Wars trailer is anything to go on we're in for treat this year – from the mask that really looks like it could belong to Darth Revan to the awesome finish with Han and Chewy things are really looking up but this blog is about that awesome new droid that rolled onto the stage at the Star Wars Celebration Anaheim.

In the video below they talk about finding the company that makes this technology possible and today it's been confirmed that company is Sphero! Famous for their smartphone controlled rolling gadgets the chances of us getting some kind of BB-8 to call our own just got a lot higher!

We'll just have to wait and see, if you would like to be automatically updated on this swing by our mighty Star Wars store and click the green ‘favourites’ button up top!

The Best in Bluetooth at Mighty Ape!

Electronics

Add a comment By Andi

Ah, Bluetooth… All the freedom of being wireless while keeping all the stability of a physical connection. So good!

You'd be surprised by the number of Bluetooth solutions we've got, so we thought we'd highlight a few to give you a taste…

1) Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 Bluetooth Headset with Charging Case

“But Mighty Ape…” you might say, “Surely a cable running from your head to your pocket isn't so bad?”

And for a lot of people you'd be right. But if you've ever tried a pair of Bluetooth headphones, you know that the feeling of being untethered is uniquely liberating.

The freedom of not being whipped by a cable as you're running, as well as a far more intimate listening experience makes the upgrade to Bluetooth headphones completely worth it.

Science Fiction Gadgets that are becoming Science Fact!

Computers Electronics

1 comment By Andi

If you're anything like us, the prospect of gadgets and technology from Sci-Fi movies becoming something real gets your mind racing! With hoverboards from Back to the Future becoming a reality (though sadly no time-travel) it makes you wonder what else is about to make its way from science fiction to science fact.

We've put together just a short list of things that are quickly making their way into the realm of possibility – and while we probably won't be able to afford them any time soon, the fact that they're being made is super exciting. Check them out!

1) Holograms

You can't talk about Sci-Fi and not talk about Holograms. Star Wars, Star Trek, and everything in between – the 360 viewing of an object is the future.

Naturally, something this cool can't be contained to cinema and TV so people like the folks at Leia Display are doing some about it.

Using water vapour to project onto, Leia Displays offer a 3D projection that also uses motion technology to make its visuals fully interactive.
