If you have a short memory or didn't have time to catch up on Crave this week (editor's note: for shame!), no worries, we've got you covered. Here's a look back at the truly interesting, strange, and wonderfully silly gadgets we checked out.

• OMG, no way: You hate the idea of buying a standalone Blu-ray player.

• I have waaaay too many USB keys on my desk. I'd feel better about it if they were all made like this.

• Some people have a lot of time on their hands. And then there's this guy.

• Our favorite blokes at Crave UK got an exclusive look at the iRiver Spinn.

• Michelle Thatcher aims to settle that eternal debate: touch pad or pointing stick? Make sure to chime in with your 2 cents.
