Smallest wireless computer in the world

So you think your PDA is small? Maybe your PocketPC based cell phone? Think again. A firm called Computlab has managed to cram a complete PDA into a device two-thirds the size of a credit card. The CM-X270L measures just 4.4 x 6.6 cm. The device holds an XScale processor, 512MB of flash memory, 128MB of RAM, a sound card and 802.11b WiFi. It also has a PCI bus and 4 USB host ports, putting this thing beyond the realm of the average PDA. It will not only run Windows Mobile, but Linux as well. Best of all, the tiny computer costs only $47 if you buy 10,000 or more! CompuLab website

shit... that thing running in a router smoothwalled (with 10/100s on USB or something similar [or as a wireless but i dont like wireless]) would be a phenomenally powerful router replacement at the same price point...

note that as configured in the OP, it'd actually be around 200+ bucks per unit. the 47 dollar unit is the CM-X270L-D16-F1-C312
D16 - 16 mb ram
F1 - 1 mb NOR flash
C312 - 312 mhz CPU

and nothing else. pretty much useless at the base 47 dollar module ;)
