Welcome to the mile high...bed? Video Transcript

[ Background Music ]

>> A camera you can print with, Spore Mania is getting ever closer, and a bed from the sky, plus my partner in crime, Ms. Bonnie Cha in the studio.

>> Howdie.

>> Hey hi. All that and more, and this is Crave. [ Music ] [ Background Music ]

>> Ok guys, you know what you're here for. It's Crave and everything that we talked about, you'll find on our blog at crave.cnet.com.

>> Bonnie, boom Cha. Sound effect. [Sound of explosion] It's gone.

>> I'm good. They could't flash. [ Laughter ]

>> I should have let him play the sound effect and not me do it.

>> I know.

>> Okay. So, what do you have for us?

>> I have a new Polaroid camera.

>> Polaroid is coming back.

>> Its coming back! 'Cause I was really sad that they got rid the old ones and it's pretty cool. So, they are thinking about creating a new camera, a digital camera that will printout film right there.

>> It's kind of all integrated in the camera, right?

>> Yeah. And so, I think they're gonna, you know, do away with that huge size.

>> Oh come on, why?

>> I know.

>> Why? You don't like the big bulky stuff?

>> It's not so easy to carry with you.

>> Okay.

>> Yeah. [ Music ]

>> Now, I have the Creative Mozaic.

>> Yes.

>> And I don't know. What do you think about this guy?

>> I'm not feeling it.

>> Well, the reason why I crave it is because there's so many MP3 players out there that are trying to, you know, come up with this cool designs or something different and none of them really succeeded. And this Mozaic, I don't know, I just like how--it's kind of artsy fartsy.

>> It's different.

>> Yeah.

>> But I just feel like, looking in from--it's just the build doesn't look all that great to me.

>> But beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, Bonnie.

>> Yeah. Well.

>> Yeah.

>> This beholder doesn't find beauty in that one.

>> Snap. [ Music ]

>> If you guys have heard anything about Spore, you know, it's this huge game from Electronic Arts. It's finally coming and so to celebrate that, Bonnie and I created our own Spore creatures, and we haven't seen them at all.

>> No.

>> But, we want you guys to actually choose which Spore character is cooler. And in addition to that, whoever loses at this contest will have to do something that you guys want to look. Hold on, let the callers come in.

>> It's okay.

>> It's okay?

>> It's okay.

>> Like I can make them, you know, do different things. It just work for you.

>> That's great.

>> We're gonna go to yours.

>> Okay.

>> Okay. So, what was like your inspiration for this really bad looking creature.

>> Excuse me?

>> Honestly, I think it's kinda cool but what were you trying to make?

>> I don't really know. I was just going with it, you know.

>> That's cool.

>> Yeah.

>> Those were our Spore characters, and hopefully you guys can just send us your responses at Driving Me Cravy at CNET.com, so we know what's going on.

>> Yes.

>> Okay. Now really quickly, we wanna get this other way. We told you guys to writing about what you thought Apple might be coming out? So, we're just gonna bang through this, all the winners actully get these cool incase bags. They're a collaboration with the the artist [inaudible]. They have this cool silver matalic drip. We have them in 13 and 15 inches. Alright, first one is Daniel Burkholder [phonetic]. He send in his idea of the iShoe which has built-in iPhone controls via bluetooth. And to answer your calls, you can change the tracks with your toes.

>> With your toes?

>> Dante Murphy, he sent us in the McBook Air 2.0, the latest in Dust Technology. He sent us a little picture with like speck of dust so--Dave Farell brings us the eyePhone spelled E-Y-E phone, and it basically has like a camera on the back. Michael Damian sent in the iFood and it could be a fruit or vegetable made into an edible MP3 player. It will be a one time product and you would eat it, and then when you're done, you're done.

>> Okay.

>> And then finally, Suree [phonetic] from the UK sent us the iBraces and it's a retainer that fits in your mouth, connects to your iPhone or iPod, change the song, turn up the volume all with the power of your tounge. That's probably why you chose that one.

>> I did not have anything.

>> Alright. Thanks guys for winning. It's time for, you know what we like to do here.

>> Do Not Crave.

>> Do Not Crave. [ Music ]

>> There are several airlines with sits that pretty much convert into beds. But what if I wanna take that experience home with me? Well, if you have 35,000 dollars to burn, jump right in and join the Mile High Club from ground zero. Now check this out, it's the Mile High bed from California-based MotoArt, and it's made out of 2 DC-9 rear stabilizers. You guys can pop your own jokes there, and a C-130 inner flap. But, what if those chicks come with the bed? Like to be honest, the more I look at this I kind of want one, but without the pilot. Because you know me, I'm on my own cockpit. But this thing is crazy. I may be on the fence, but the price tag alone is worthy of a [sound of explosion] "do not" phrase. [ Music ]

>> Yeah. It's all silvery and shiny.

>> Uhmm.

>> Yeah.

>> With that shaggy bed spread or whatever it is.

>> But you know, I like the airline attendants.

>> Yeah, I know.

>> Yeah. Would you ever, you know, take that out for a fly.

>> Uhmm.

>> Not a ride.

>> No.

>> No, not at all. But for all the lady viewers, I have a free [inaudible] plans, so you know, the BTC Express is ready to go.

>> Oh bored. [ Laughter ]

>> Okay. Thanks for coming out.

>> Sure.

>> Alright, you're over this and you wanna go.

>> Yeah, kind of like that.

>> We'll see you guys next week on Crave.

>> Bye. ^M00:04:59 [ Music ]
