Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4: Top zooming

Crave It's palm-sized, sure, but nearly 35mm at the thickest point. The first thing we thought about the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 was that it's huge. In today's size zero compact camera world, that's the sort of girth that could earn the TZ4 a trip to fat...

Toshiba Libretto U100: Not for fatties

Crave To obtain a special dialing wand, please mash the keypad with your palm now. We're reminded of the The Simpsons episode where Homer dials a number on his phone only to be told, "The fingers you have used to dial are too fat.

Sanyo Xacti HD2: Smallest hi-def camcorder is reborn

Crave Last year we were disappointed with the HD1's performance once the initial high of using a palm-sized hi-def camcorder had worn off. Camcorder fans will recall that Sanyo launched the quirky Xacti VPC-HD1 model at CES 2006.

Crave The palm rest is finished in real leather and the lid in a matching ivory effect -- although we doubt the latter is derived from the tusk of an actual elephant. Vegetarians should look away right about now -- Asus has unveiled yet another leather...

KingNeed iBible Pro: Yes, it really is an e-Bible

Crave Running specially written software rather than Windows Mobile or Palm OS, it comes with a stylus for you to operate everything via the 81mm (3.2-inch) touchscreen. Here's something you don't see every day, to put it mildly.

Asus U1: Stylish fingerprint magnet

Crave We like to think of it as a cross between Asus' own W6 and S6 and the LG Chocolate Phone because of the leather finish on the palm rest and the super glossy 'piano black' finish on the lid. There are endless contenders for the title of sexiest laptop.

DivX 6.0: the MP3 of video

Round-up: mobile phones at CES

Matrox TripleHead2Go: Three-way monitor action
