COOL!

Man that thing is about the size of my pocketpc screen... talk about loosing your phone - which brings up an interesting question - How small is small enough? I mean I usually find myself talking on the phone by holding the device up to my ear as I don't normally walk around with the earbud firmly logged into my ear...

But still - this is cool - imagine that running the mobile OS, having a SDIO slot in it too - wohoo! (bluetooth enabled too - of course - no wires!)
