This week GoPro announced the launch of its new Dive Housing, which features a large flat glass lens that allows for maximum photo and video sharpness underwater and in all resolutions. This new housing, which is compatible with all HD HERO cameras, mounts and accesses is waterproof to 197 feet (60 meters), and can be used for diving, snorkeling or any deep sea adventures.
It comes with protective lens cap, tether string and even assorted mounting hardware, and is available now for those looking to take a dive.
Two years ago we first profiled the SensoGlove and just in time for a new season on the links Sensolutions – the maker of IT systems for sports analysis, motion and performance measurement – has introduced a new model with long batter life and increased sensitivity for more accurate pressure read.
Music is essential for workouts, and earbuds are an easy option to plug into a smartphone or MP3 player. Yet those earbuds can block out ambient noise that you need to hear, such as oncoming traffic. AIRbudz is a replacement for the earpiece that comes with your earbud headphones. Air channels allow ambient noise to enter your ears, while not distorting music. 
Winter is finally over – in fact it never arrived for much of the country – but that doesn’t mean it isn’t too early to think about next year. Actually it is Neva too early, as in Anthony Griesel’s Neva microprocessor-equipped ski poles that will bring “smart” technology to skiing and back wood snowshoeing and hiking.
While many of us no doubt look to kill some time during the day, at the Olympic Games keeping time is crucial. And with the London 2012 Games the official Olympic timekeepers Omega will be unveiling the latest technology to track the various competitions.
There is no shortage of mobile phone cases on display this week at the International CTIA 2012 in New Orleans. The trade show for all things mobile certainly has the phone covered in more ways than one. But anyone who has used a cycle mount and a hard shell knows that the two don’t play well together. The hard shell is ideal for protecting that smartphone on the go, but it seldom fits in most handlebar mounts. 
Earlier this week we reported on the new 3T Integra stem that allows for an aerodynamic seating of Garmin Edge devices, but if the thought of replacing the whole stem is too much, the Quarq Low Pro 500 mount ( MSRP: $35) might be worth a peek. Designed exclusively for the popular Garmin Edge 500, the mount offers a sleek seat for the cycle-computer that puts the device front and center of the steam. The mount will be out this summer.
The Casio PRG550-1 doesn’t have that “living on the edge” sort of name, but this sport watch might not need a snappy name. While it isn’t a GPS or heart rate monitor, it tells times and a lot more including providing a compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer. The second hand on the watch doubles as a compass, while being able to show changes in atmospheric pressure.
As efforts are made to streamline every last part of a bike something has seemed a bit odd – namely those cycle-computer mounts that sort of ruin the sleek lines and look a bit like a tumor on the handlebars. But last season 3T introduced an integrated steam – fittingly called the Integra. Now comes word that the stem will be used this season by the Team Garmin-Barracuda in this season’s pro cycling races. 
The most-funded Kickstarter project to date is the Pebble smartwatch, and it landed its first app partner this week – working-tracking app RunKeeper. Users will still have to wait until fall for the release, but when it arrives it will be able to interact with an iPhone or Android device, and with the RunKeeper app will provide data straight to the wrist. Users can take control of their handset, which can remain tucked away in a pocket or pack.
