Honda Asimo robot runs round in circles at CES 2007

Crave Despite the humanoid appearance, there's something vaguely ducklike about Asimo's walk. Honda says the cute appearance is deliberate -- it's designed to be your non-threatening robot friend. The stairs of potential doom await the arrival of Asimo...

Crave Last Christmas, the gold Motorola Razr V3i D&G handset made a celebrity appearance on Crave's virtual shopping list. But at a price of £400 it didn't make it to our real list, and even if it had, trying to get hold of one of the 1,000 released...

Crave TV: Roll up for Sony's Rolly

Crave Since it made its first appearance on the Web a few months ago, no-one really knew what to make of Rolly -- it's a music player that kind of dances, kind of rolls around. Here at CES we expected to see some pretty unusual products.

GlamPhone ELLE No3: Alcatel does designer

Crave Mobile manufacturers are going bonkers over fashion-centric handsets, so if you value your appearance, don't let yourself down with a stuffy, straight handset. You wear the designer clothes, read the fashion magazines, now you just need a glam...

Motorola Razr V3im: Music makes me touch my phone

Crave Three days ago we were puzzled by the Motorola V3im's sudden appearance on the O2 Web site, not because we didn't know it existed, but because Motorola didn't do any singing or dancing about its release in the UK.

Lexmark 3840: Budget photo demon

Crave This gives it a more balanced overall appearance and makes it easier to control. It seems Lexmark makes printers for the sheer hell of it. Over the last six months, Crave has blogged about more budget all-in-ones than we can shake a very large...

Eclipse TD307PAII: Which came first -- the speaker or the egg?

Crave The Eclipse TD307PAII -- or the 307s as we'll refer to them from now on -- may have a questionable product name but they sure as hell don't have a questionable appearance. If the speakers that came with your PC suck, as many do, then you should...

Barbie MP3 player: Exploitation for the digital girl

Crave The MP3 player looks just like the Barbie of today: knee-high boots, excessive make-up and a 50 per cent more slutty appearance than the nearest competing doll. There's something oddly grotesque about an MP3-playing Barbie doll.
