    My cell phone is 1"x3"x.5" and It's already tough enough to dial without a tooth pick. Soon /. articles will read "Sony debuts new HANDS, for smaller portable Devieces" Ahhh... the price we'll pay for convience. I long for the days when a cell phone was so big it could be used for self defense (swing that battery and become: Connan the Early Adopter!)
