In case you didn't know it, CNET's been running a special package the last couple of week's called "Tech Madness" that not only highlights CNET's March Madness toolkit but a little game called "What's the No. 1 gadget in the land?"

While we don't have 64 gadgets in our tournament, we do have 32. Once you register/log in as a "player" (Voxpop.tv is running the game), you make your picks just like you would with any typical bracket, selecting an overall champion at the end.

After the real NCCA basketball tournament ends, Voxpop.tv will let you know which gadget won and how you scored with your picks. What's the winner get?

Alas, we don't have any material goods to give away, but we will feature you in blog post right here on Crave. I know that sounds kind of lame on the surface, but think of the glory of being featured in a blog, Crave no less. You'll make your family proud, and it's something you can show your grandchildren one day (or you can show them now, if you have some already).

Anyway, see link to the game below. If you don't want to play and just want to make comments about what you think the No. 1 gadget is, that's OK, too. Feel free to add your two cents right on this blog post.

Play the game: What's the No. 1 gadget in the land?

HTC Touch Pro, aka HTC Fuze kicks the iPhone's shiny butt. Popularity aside, the iPhone is second rate in almost every way, as is the Wii. They do one thing different and well, and are popular for it, but that doesn't make them the best, never will.

With the proliferation of larger media files on ever increasing in size hard drives, the ESATA drive connectivity for PCs is a huge leap in speed for transferring files (from USB 2.0) from one location to another, whether as an internal or external hard drive form factor. Unfortunately, PC makers and hard drive manufacturers are not doing a good job of marketing the speed improvement of ESATA to the masses.
