Possibly the smallest street-legal car in the world, the 39-inch high, 26-inch wide, cheekily-painted project was made by a British man out of one of those coin-operated children’s rides.
Nobody asked for it, but here it is: the ‘world’s smallest‘ wireless mouse! This thumb-sized min-strosity will run for 15 hours on one charge, assuming you can go that long without losing it.
The diminishing size of gadgetry is about as certain as Moore’s law, and is generally good for us. But for some, size is an obsession, and smaller is always better. This is what they’ve wrought:
I can’t think of another product category less served by the ol’ “world’s smallest” tag that gadget-makers continuously foam over than network storage drives. But, of course, here we have the “world’s smallest” NAS.
Common thought is to get a big TV. Hell, I want two. But instead, I put a 23-inch set in my livingroom for two months to see what it would be like.
Portable speakers for MP3 players are two a penny, but not many are not far off a penny in size: Landport’s Cubes are though. They’re just an inch cube, but fit in stereo speakers, 3.5-mm jack plug, rechargeable batteries and a mini-USB port. They’ll run for 4-5 hours on a charge, too. Just don’t go expecting bone-rattling volume as they pump out a similarly tiny 0.8-watts. Out soon in Japan for $US25. [Slashgear]
Apparently the CLX-3170 is the world’s smallest and quietest multi-function printer. We say apparently here because the last time Samsung told us they had a “first”, it turned out they were twisting the facts to suit the headline of their press release.
In any case, the printer measures in at 415mm x 360mm x 311mm, which does make it quite small. Noise levels are also restricted to 46dB, which is also fairly quiet. There’s also a direct USB interface so you don’t need to connect this to a PC, and it comes in both black or two-tone grey colours.
Does that make it the world’s smallest and quietest? Who cares? It’s definitely small and quiet – and with the price of rent soaring and my generation starting to get annoyed at the volume of “kids today”, those two features are highly desireable in any PC peripheral, let alone a MFP which costs $599.
