Photos: Gear4's new iPod cases arrive in the Crave offices

Crave Dropping your brand new iPod within a week of buying it is a tragic moment. More tragic even than the sound quality of Metallica's new album. Fortunately there are a plethora of case manufacturers out there ready to sheath your glossy new iPod in a...

Hands-on with the Gear4 StreetParty III: Festival's friend

Crave The last Gear4 StreetParty we got jiggy with was the StreetParty Size 0, and when it was just the two of us we had a pretty good time. Yeah, sorry for another helping of Will Smith references, but we were just told the Big Willie is in London later...

Video reviews round-up: Gadgets over footie

Crave In the immortal words of Hank Williams Jr, are you ready for some football? While Hank Jr wasn't referring to real football of course, he still makes a relevant point in light of this summer's Euro 2008 competition.

Gear4 HouseParty 4: No hi-fi, but worth a high five

Crave You iPod speaker fans out there may well remember Gear4's HouseParty 3 from last year. Like Lily 'I'm so wacky, you never know what I'll do next' Allen's new pink hair, it's not without its flaws, but on the whole it's definitely something you'd...

Gear4 Duo review

Reviews Some things were never made to be broken in half: laptops, Bruce Willis, hearts. Not true for Gear4's Duo, though -- this two-part iPod speaker system is designed to work both as a single 2.1 unit, or snapped in half and used as a portable pair of...

Hands-on with the Gear4 Duo: What the dock-tor ordered

Crave When Gear4 told us it was holding its most exciting product launch to date, we knew we were in for a little treat. It came to show us its swanky new Duo in private, weeks before said launch, so we've had a chance to form a solid opinion already.

Altec Lansing inMotion SoundBlade: If your tent's rocking

Crave With festival season just around the corner -- don't forget your wellies, kids -- it's time to look at battery-operated speakers. One of our favourites for times when size is of critical importance is Gear4's StreetParty Size 0 -- its thin form...

Gear4 BassStation review

Reviews With the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin on the market for £400 and the Bose SoundDock selling for around £300, you couldn't be faulted for going googly-eyed over a 2.1 iPod speaker system for around £100. Gear4's new BassStation is just such an eye...

Bose SoundDock Portable review

Reviews The original Bose SoundDock is a popular choice for iPod owners -- it offers a more impressive audio experience than many other competing systems. With the SoundDock Portable that performance can be taken on the move thanks to a beefy battery pack.

Gear4 Blackbox review

Reviews Gear4's new Blackbox system aims to provide a wireless speaker solution in a snazzy package. Ideally, it's going to appeal to those of you with Bluetooth-enabled music phones, but a line-in socket paves the way for iPod compatibility and more.
