Loewe Connect 32 Media Full-HD+ DR+: What recession?

Photos: Hands-on with the Casio Exilim Z19, Z85, Z250 and Z300

Crave It also boasts a new night-vision view, which can mean only one thing: when we get a review sample model in we'll be creeping around in ninja gear and generally playing silly beggars. We would like to stick in a Z Cars reference here, but that's...

Photos: Sony's E4000 range of designer TVs get swanky launch

Crave When you buy an E4000, it comes with some sample images built in. Last night Crave was invited to a swanky TV launch -- we think there was some mistake, because they had mostly invited cool people and minor celebrities.

Asus Nova Lite: Bringing sexy back to Media Centers

Crave Inside, the entry-level sample is packing a 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 1GB of RAM and an 80GB hard drive, so it's not going to win any awards for speed or storage. With the world anxiously awaiting the Asus Eee Box, it's all too easy to overlook...

Photos: Popcorn Hour A-100 does media streaming right

Crave When our review sample arrived we were quite literally salivating with excitement. We've long moaned that there's no such thing as the perfect media streamer. We've tested Apple TV, which is hopeless unless you exist totally in the Apple universe...

MSI Wind: Hands-on, with exclusive photos

Crave There's not much else in the box of our early sample -- but final versions will include a carry pouch, which will prevent the machine from being scratched to bits. We've just had an exclusive hands-on with the MSI Wind, which we liked the look of...

Photos: Hands-on with the HP Mini-Note 2133

Crave Our sample uses 1GB of RAM alongside a weedy 1.2GHz VIA C7-M CPU, which isn't as quick as the 900MHz Pentium M in the Eee PC. Guess what, gadget fans? We've just got our hands on the first HP Mini-Note 2133 in the UK, and we thought we'd share it...

Crave We're the first people in the UK -- possibly even the world -- to have unfettered access to a final retail sample of the Asus Eee PC 900. Gather round, chums. To answer your questions: yes, the new 8.9-inch screen is amazing.

Archos TV+: Half PVR, half media streamer

Crave We initially heard about the machine during CES 2008, but now we've managed to get our hands on a review sample, which means we can be more specific about what it offers. By now, everyone understands that Apple TV is a disappointment.
