Toshiba Libretto U100: Not for fatties

Crave 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. With the Toshiba Libretto U100 everyone's fingers are too fat -- it's so tiny (210 by 165 by 30mm...

iRiver S10: Not ideal for fatties

Crave It's a sad irony that as gadgets decrease in size, our grotesquely chubby fingers become increasingly unable to operate their tiny controls. By 2050, we'll all be sat around on the remaining bits of dry land, a nation of Jabba the Huts, desperately...

Logitech Wave: Best keyboard ever?

Crave Buttons that sit below your middle and ring fingers are sunken lower into the keyboard chassis than those pressed by your shorter index and pinky fingers. It's not quite as ergonomically efficient as a split keyboard, but it helps you achieve a...

Panasonic SDR-SW20 and SDR-S7: Holiday in camcordia

Crave A secondary record button means that they can be held in the standard elbow-bent fingers-pointing-up eye-level camcorder grasp, or in a straight-arm fingers-down grip. Panasonic has given us the 32GB SDHC card, and clearly sees cheap and plentiful...

iHalloween: Turn your iPod into a Ouija board

Crave We placed our fingers on the iPod and our PC Editor invoked ancient chants to open a gate to the world beyond. It took a while for our fingers to move around the Click Wheel, and the iPod shifted about a bit on the desk (to be expected when it's...

Photos: Hands-on with the Sony Ericsson W980 Walkman

Crave We're not fond of the positioning of the 3.2-megapixel camera on the back, as the buttons you need to press to take photos are so high up that it's way too easy to accidentally put your hand over the lens -- it takes a conscious effort to keep...

Budget HD: Hands-on with the Aiptek AHD Z500 Plus

Crave It's very light indeed, but our first impression is that it's not as comfy to hold as we'd like: it's just a little too long, even for our elegantly tapering pianists' fingers. The record button is slightly too low, so you have to hold it with your...

Crave For some of us, travelling in a plane is about as enjoyable as having your fingers pecked off by vultures. Leave it to music then, to calm the nerves and alleviate the fear of hijacking and crash landings.

Sanyo says: I can sing a rainbow

Crave These MP3 players could double as drumsticks for the wealthy, spatulas for doctors who need to check tonsils in an emergency on a long-haul flight or splints for wounded fingers. Like colourful little twigs fallen from an electric tree, they're...
