Computers That Fit in Your Pocket

Adam Frucci — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 18:50:45 EDT

Wired has a really awesome gallery of tiny, tiny computers. You can't help but love a full computer crammed into something the size of a box of matches, can you? Sure, some of these aren't really at that small (Mac Mini? Come on, dudes.), but there are some pretty awesome examples of wee 'puters in here. Although they did forget a pretty tiny computer that would have fit well on the list.

The Gumstix Linux PCs are, as the name states, about the size of a stick of gum but manage to function as full-out computers. They're a hell of a lot smaller than a Mac Mini to boot. But hey, one missing computer doesn't ruin the whole gallery, which you should definitely hop on over and check out. [Wired and Gumstix]

GumStix' NetStix Linux computer claims to be almost the same size as a stick of gum, but is it? Well, it's close. We wouldn't recommend putting it in your mouth, but you can use it in testing your network on the go. And it definitely fits in your pocket. – Jason Chen

Gumstix Sized Computer...Kinda

At bout 1 inch by 5 inches, you're floored at the thought of this little PC chomping away at bits in your pocket, aren't you? Their 400xm-cf is a french fry-size computer capable of connecting to a network and letting network admins test and diagnose to their hearts content.

It's Linux based and has a 400MHz Intel processor coupled with 64MB of RAM. And that slash you see there is a CompactFlash slot for expanding memory. But wait, no power over ethernet? WTF? Still, as far as mini PCs go, this one wins hands down. Even if it has a clunky name only an admin could love. It'll set you back $206 bucks. – Louis Ramirez
