Crave

For this week's installment of the weekly Crave giveaway, we're offering a high-tech health accessory, Withings' Wi-Fi Body Scale.

This thing not only automatically tracks and charts your weight (and the weights of up to seven other people in your household), but it records your lean and fat mass, and calculates body mass index (BMI). Plus, you can access your data (it's secure, of course) from any Web browser or Withings' iPhone app, WiScale. Better yet, you can even have the scale Tweet your weight loss (or gain) to all your Twitter followers. How awesome is that?

Normally, Withings' Wi-Fi scale would cost you about $160, but you have the chance to get it gratis.

So, how do you try to win this Wi-Fi scale? Let me enumerate the basic rules. Please read them carefully; there will be a test.

For this week's installment of the weekly Crave giveaway, we're offering another iPod/iPhone speaker system--and it's one of our favorites: The Altec Lansing Mix iMT800.

I happen to have reviewed this guy myself and here's the bottom line on it: "While the retrolicious design of Altec Lansing's Mix iMT800 may not appeal to everyone, its winning combination of good performance, lots of oomph, and portability makes it one of the best iPod speaker options out there." (Read the full review).

Normally, Altec Lansing's Mix iMT800 would cost about $300, but you have the chance to get it gratis.

For this week's installment of the weekly Crave giveaway, we have one of our best freebies yet: Sony's LBT-LCD7Di Muteki shelf system.

What's sweet about this iPod audio system is that it also does video, as well as plays back DVDs and CDs (there's a radio, too). Equipped with a 7-inch LCD screen and three-disc DVD/CD player, you can watch movies and iPod videos right on the system, no extra display required. As for power, you get 360 watts (180W x 2), and Sony throws in a karaoke feature that lets you sing along to your favorite tunes. Is that hot or what?

Normally, the Sony LBT-LCD7Di Muteki Shelf System would cost about $500, but you have the chance to get it gratis.

For this week's installment of the weekly Crave giveaway, we've got something for all you folks who would like to upgrade your wireless routers but haven't yet: the Belkin N+ wireless router, which features 802.11n 2.0 technology and earned a CNET Editors' Choice award last year.

In his review, Dong Ngo said the Belkin N+ is "a great performer with excellent range and throughput speed" and that it's "worth every penny of its $100-or-so price tag." As a bonus, it also has a USB port on back that delivers limited network-storage functionality. (Read the full review.)

For this week's installment of the weekly Crave giveaway, we've got a little something for all you folks who like to game a lot--or have to sit all day in front of a computer screen: the new stylin' Gunnar Optiks MLG Legend digital performance glasses, which are designed to reduce eye fatigue and increase visual performance.
