Five of the best iPhone games

Crave Controlling the players is done via an on-screen d-pad and keys, which works surprisingly well. If you're lucky enough to own an iPhone or an iPod touch, you'll know there's loads of games available for them -- but which ones are worth downloading?

Crave The whole pad rocks up and down in a decidedly wobbly fashion, and takes some getting used to. Usually when a waterproof gadget arrives in Crave Towers, we bust out our cagoules and sou'westers take some pictures of said gadget in the sink.

Crave The zoom control is a flattened pad with only the slightest contour to rock the button from side-to-side. Milan. Paris. New York. Hemel Hempstead. All are synonymous with sleek style, and -- what's that?

Photos: Hands-on with the Samsung YP-Q1 Diamond

Crave For once we're convinced the touch-sensitive control pad won't force users into an irate frenzy that leads to suicide or, worse, buying something by Katy Perry; it's actually quite usable. But you can see a hint of the player's gloss, not to...

Photos: Hands-on with the LG Cookie KP500

Crave A series of widgets are on offer, such as an on-screen clock or memo pad, which you can drag on to the KP500's homepage. Two days ago we brought you news of a new LG phone, the Cookie KP500, but unfortunately LG's press release didn't exactly give...

Crave Home-cinema projectors: we all want one, but they're a bit scary -- especially if like us you feel that nailing expensive electronics to the ceiling is probably best left to people with certificates in nailing things to ceilings.

Crave Interestingly, Samsung has squashed a touch-sensitive navigation pad in the middle of the four-way nav key. 'Anything you can do, Samsung can do better' is what we imagine Samsung's mentality is when it comes to developing its mobile phones.

Crave It's not the best Qwerty pad we've ever typed on, but it is usable and provides a quick way of typing out instant messages, emails and text messages. As much as some people love the iPhone, serious textaholics think that not having a mechanical...

Crave The scroll wheel/clickpad is on the right, beneath possibly the smallest zoom rocker pad we've ever had the misfortune to lay our thumbs on. They're everywhere, you know. The Wi-Fi waves are all around you.

Crave Just look at that big ol' track pad. True, there's nothing particularly notable about it -- it's just a track pad after all. It's not just the business end of the market getting all of Vaio's attention.

TVonics MFR-300: Tiny Freeview receiver for old TVs

Crave And you get a remote receiver on an extension cable that you place somewhere on the TV with a sticky pad, so the box doesn't need to be in direct line-of-sight of the remote. In a few years the heady days of analogue will be over, and we'll all be...

Crave As one CNET.co.uk's sister site News.com editor put it, "It's like the Apollo 11 astronauts walking to the launch pad. It's been almost a year since 29 June 2007, that frenzied day the iPhone went on sale in America.
