Ok, so maybe this is going to extemes. I see that the "World's Lightest Notebook" is the OQO 01+ which weighs in at a whopping .88 pounds. You can check it out at dynamism.com if you really want to see more about it!!

If things keep shrinking this way, soon you'll need a microscope to even see it.

You are probably right there, pretty soon they will have to invent a bionic eye and micro fingers so we can see and use all these shrinking gadgets!!

I think one day will come when the older thing will come into the market again.

That's a pretty cool little computer. What I would like to know is how much longer it would take you to do everyday work? Just think, the letters would either be so small or you would have to constantly be scrolling down to read stuff. Also with a keyboard that small forget your typing abilities. I would think some of those things could really slow you down. The size of the entire laptop would mean it is that much easier to lose, most people lose their keys, now you have to worry about loosing your laptop? Okay, all in fun. That is pretty neat, I wonder if it will be another war like the cell phones. I once saw a comedy sketch about the tiny phones on Saturday Night Live, He had a phone about the size of this letter l , it was pretty funny, I wonder if they will make ipods, laptops, or maybe a cell-phone, ipod, laptop combo. Of course I will only buy it if its small enough to fit in my ear!

You would think that the "small" craze can only go so much further before they will have to start doing something else to sell products.

I sure hope so. I don't think I can handle anymore mini products. I am starting to feel like a giant.

Some of the jeans they make now have like a dozen pockes so you can fit all your tiny gadgets in. I would have to dig through them all to find the gadget I wanted most likely!!
