It’s another extreme sport game changer and quite possibly one of Steve’s Gadgets of the year. Check out the Radinn electric powered wakeboard.

With a little bit of decent balance and the energy-exuding wireless hand controller, riders are capable of sliding along the top of the water with the effort of a shaved duck.

And it’s about as light as that too as it’s made from lightweight carbon fiber (29kgs) and houses low mass lithium-ion batteries. The board works on a traditional propulsion system like on a jet ski and the bindings are compatible with traditional wakeboard bindings.

The whole thing is small enough to carry and fit in a car or a boat and they say it’ll reach a top speed of 48km/h.

They say it’ll be available around early 2015 and the asking price? A massive R200 000 or more.

The iPhone 6 will be released on September 9th, probably alongside a new iPad Air and a new iPad Mini. The invites have gone out and they look like this.

No announcement yet on when it’ll come to South Africa and not even 100% certainty that the announcement Apple will make in Cupertino on September 9th will be the new phone, but with the Beta release of iOS 8 at WWDC…where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

The closest we’ve got to what the new device looks like and what it’ll do is on show in this leaked hands on video from Russian Youtuber Rozetked. Looks legit even if the subtitles are dodgier than a leftover Quik Shop chicken pie.

This is the most in depth and complete leaked video we’ve seen so far and it suggests:
A curved body
Power button in a whole new place
A flat camera lens
A bunch of other stuff in Russian

What else we know so far is:

It’ll probably have a 4.7-inch screen and possibly also a 5.5-inch phablet vibe
The iWatch won’t be too far behind

We’ll probably be experiencing a new material entirely on the body
It’ll feature iOS 8 which has this mesmerizing timelapse superpower

Keep your eyes open over the next few days for the announcement and any more leaks.
