For this week's Crave giveaway, we've got Powermat's upcoming new Wireless Charging System for the iPhone. Yes, you heard right, upcoming, which means if you win you'll be this first on your block with one of these puppies when it's officially released mid-April.

In case you don't know what Powermat's all about, its products allow you to charge cell phones (and other stuff) by simply laying the product down on a mat that's plugged into the wall. Powermat's new Wireless Charging System for the iPhone comes with a Powermat 1X mat, … Read more

Attention, all you gamers and Skype users. For this week's giveaway of the week, we've got the slick new Astro A30 headset.

Recently, editor Scott Stein described the A30 in a post on Crave, saying the headset was a more compact version of Astro's professional gaming headset, the A40, and that it's intended for use as a cross-purpose device for mobile music, gaming, and laptop users. "Though the headset is far larger than a set of earbuds, the detachable boom microphone and additional in-line mic with call answer/music pause button let the A30 double … Read more

On this week's Digital City, we discover some new fallout from the no-Flash-on-the-iPad issue, then spend some quality time with the long-delayed superthin Adamo XPS laptop.

We do a quick survey to find out where we've earned foursquare mayorships (here's a hint: they're all bars), and then check the official office March Madness standings in our office pool. Let's just say that coin-flipping to pick his teams may not have been Scott's finest moment.

Finally, we've got some more video games to give away. This week, it's racing game MotoGP 09/10 … Read more

With the transition to DTV not yet a year old, you probably haven't invested in a new portable DTV that pulls in over-the-air digital signals. Good news! You can now win one--a new 9-inch Philips PVD900/37 portable DTV--in our Crave giveaway of the week.

While the wide-screen PVD900 doesn't have HD resolution--it offers 600x220-pixel resolution--you can view HD stations. Its other features include a built-in QAM tuner for receiving unscrambled digital cable stations (yes, you can hook this up to a cable connection in your home) and up to 3 hours of battery life from a single … Read more

If you're looking to upgrade your PC speakers, we have a sweet giveaway this week, a set of Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra MX6021 PC speakers.

We recently reviewed this 2.1 rig and came away impressed, giving the Ultra a four-star "excellent" rating. These Altec speakers really deliver a lot of bass and good, detailed sound for the money. (Check out the full review here).

Normally, the Expressionist Ultra PC speakers would cost around $200, but you have the chance to get them gratis.

So, how do you try to win the Expressionist Ultra speakers? Let me … Read more

The folks from iFrogz wanted to give away a set of its new $40 CS40 Earpollution Comfort Series headphones on Crave, but we told them that just wasn't quite good enough, especially since we couldn't decide which color we liked best. So we asked for all five colors, which means the winner gets five pairs of headphones to use or give away as you see fit.

While we haven't done a full review of the headphones, we did give them a quick whirl and thought they sounded pretty good for 40 bucks--and also were quite comfortable.

Normally, … Read more

To kick off its partnership with HP on a new line of cable and power conditioning products, Monster is offering up the HP Monster Digital PowerCenter 800G w/ Green Power in our Crave Giveaway of the week.

Like Belkin's Conserve surge protector, instead of having your electronics sit there in standby mode and each sip a little bit of power, the Digital PowerCenter 800G lets you completely shut down components so power drain is cut to zero (you plug your computer or other electronic device into the "GreenPower Control" outlets). At the same time, it leaves certain … Read more

We haven't given away an Editors' Choice product in a while, so we figured it was high time we posted one here on the Crave giveaway of the week, particularly since everyone could use a pair of high-quality earbud-style headphones.

In her review of the Klipsch Image S4 earbuds, editor Jasmine France said these 'buds "offer up sound quality on par with and better than sets that cost many times as much; they are a spectacular choice for anyone looking for new earbuds."

Normally, the Klipsch Image S4 earbuds would cost around $79, but you have the … Read more
