Crave The AA batteries also make it easy to buy more if you run out of juice even on holiday, where they talk funny and have the wrong type of plugs. Sometimes things are too far away to see properly. Crave says "Fie!

Hi-def from Channel 4 and the BBC is on the way

Crave HD, as we're speculatively naming it, launches in December and will hopefully feature a hi-def naughty step -- maybe we'll even get to see Jamie seasoning things with lemon juice and chillies in 1080i.

Hands-on with the Olympus LS-10: 24-bit voice and music

Crave AA batteries will give you about 12 hours of juice, but we've not been able to confirm this, though we're very grateful to Olympus for not using a pain-in-the-arse internal battery that requires a degree in Engineering to get at.
