With electronics manufacturers constantly striving to make everything smaller, here's the latest shrinkage, a pointing device destined for handheld devices, cellphones and such, called MicroNav 360. This OEM pointing device is 10mm square and scarcely thicker than 1mm, which makes it about the size of your pinky fingertip.

We were just wondering, what's the problem with directional controls, or one of those little miniature joysticks? Perhaps this OEM device is destined to be a strap-on fingertip mouse, giving you the ultimate in road-warrior portability. Or something.
