Does This Phone Make Me Look Fat?

Not only are electronics getting thinner by the minute, they're also getting dwarfed. The race is on, and companies are fighting for the "World's Smallest" titles. Personal technology is being miniaturized, while television sets are taking over entire walls in our household. So what's the latest in world of tiny handsets?   

The Chinese have developed the smallest phone in the world, and they call it the Xun Chi 138. This phone is so small, human hands couldn't possibly operate it. Fortunately, it only has five buttons, and a barely there touch screen with handwriting recognition. A stylus is included so the rest of humanity could operate it, although you may need glasses to see the screen.

The New Launches crew say the candybar phone measures 67mm in length, only slightly longer than an AA battery. But the trick is not only to make it small, but to load it with all the functionality of a regular phone. The Xun Chi includes 138MB of storage, a 1.3 megapixel camera, USB port, MP3 player, and rumor has it the next version will come equipped with Bluetooth technology and an Mini SD card slot to hold all those family portraits. 

Are you developing a complex yet? Soon enough, we're all going to have to loose the chubby fingers if we want to talk on the phone. Not to worry, you still  have a few years to lose the baby fat, before these mini-phones appear stateside.
