Crave It works surprisingly well and is far more convenient than typing in a password. Yesterday, the boys and girls of Asus sent us the G71V gaming laptop, and it wasn't long before we were drooling everywhere.

Polaroid Photo Frame and Weather Station: Fairweather frames

Crave Cravers are wrapped up in hats, scarves and animal pelts, bulky gloves making our typing go a little wnoky. Astonishingly, it's nearly the end of November, and in Crave's part of the world, we're freezing our brass monkeys off, so it's an...

Check out our upgraded forums

Crave Oh, and we've fixed a long-standing bug where nothing happened if you pressed the return key after typing in a page number. Crave has been deep in conversation with our lab-coated tech guys in Singapore over the last few weeks to work out a few...

What to expect from Fennec, Firefox's mobile browser

Crave Don't expect a complete replica of Firefox 3's Awesome Bar to show up on your mobile phone, but do expect something close enough to save you typing time. Mozilla's release of the Firefox for Mobile alpha code, codenamed Fennec, grants that wish to...

LG Prada II: Fashion touchscreen phone gets Qwerty keyboard

Crave The keyboard is definitely a welcome addition for those who like typing on the phone. We reviewed the original Prada phone more than a year ago and loved its style but weren't happy with its lack of support for 3G.

Crave That causes the mouse cursor to move and select stuff at random, which isn't ideal while typing. There's an unwritten law that gaming laptops have to be hella ugly, or at the very least garish enough to sear retinas from 100 paces.

Photos: Hands-on with the Dell Inspiron Mini 9

Crave It's an interesting compromise to get the most surface area for everyday typing, and we'll have to spend some more time with the system before we decide if we like it or not. And even though there are not many surprises in the just-announced...

Photos: Hands-on the LG KS360's Qwerty keyboard

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...

Optimus Pultius: Mini-OLED keyboard for big spenders

Crave For a keyboard that expensive, it should be thinking our thoughts and typing them for us. We can't really claim to be big spenders here at Crave. Sure, we may splash out when it comes to lunchtime, but we're otherwise keeping our change as chunky...

Opera Mobile 9.5 beta hands-on

Crave Like the 9.5 desktop version, there's in-text search with Find in Page and text highlighting; a Google search bar when you tap to enter a URL, and an address bar fitted with auto-complete that harnesses your browsing history by suggesting...

Photos: Hands-on with the Sony Vaio SR Series (VGN-SR19VN)

Crave It actually feels a lot like typing on an Apple MacBook. If you just can't decide whether you want a laptop for business or personal use, point your viewing spheres towards Sony's new Vaio SR Series: the entry-level VGN-SR19XN and the top-end VGN...

Photos: Hands-on with the Sony Vaio FW Series (VGN-FW11ZU)

Crave But yes, the isolated keyboard design made touch typing painless, and should -- in theory, at least -- make mistyping less frequent. It's not just the business end of the market getting all of Vaio's attention.

Photos: Hands-on with the Sony Vaio Z Series (VGN-Z11VN/B)

Crave It makes typing unusual for the first minute or so -- each key feels a little further apart, although in reality they aren't, and mistyping should be reduced as a result. It unveiled to Europe its four latest lines of Vaio laptops -- two aimed at...

Photos: Eee PC 901 vs Acer Aspire One

Crave It's a close call, but we reckon the Eee might just have the edge -- provided you're not typing anything. We already know you want an Eee PC 901 -- everybody does. But you also want the Acer Aspire One, don't you, you Internet-loving netbook fiend?

Samsung SyncMasterT200: 20-inch rose black monitor

Crave People walking behind you, bright lights and even your own fingers typing are all reflected, which can be tiresome if you're trying to concentrate. Samsung recently decided that black wasn't good enough for TVs anymore and turned everything 'rose...
