    I know its been a while but does most businesses think smaller phones, mp3 players, even computers are better. I agree with the computer since the original would fill a whole room but cell phones and mp3 players?

    I wouldn't want things smaller since I would forget or loose it.

    Depends on what it is. Some things I'd like smaller, but some things not.

    I don't agree with you when it comes to PCs. I guess having a laptop is alright, but one of those work things like PDAs and those mini pcs are way too small for convenience.
    My father has a PDA for work and the keyboard is so small that it gets hard to type, which he needs to do a lot due to his work needs, and the screen is too small for big documents.
    It also gets annoying to get all the work you're currently doing erased when someone calls you, but that problem isn't so relevant as the most recent PDAs can solve that.

    I like mini things. Mini dough nuts, mini bagels, mini candy, mini spoons, even.

    So in my opinion, smaller is better. But I also agree it's not more convenient but I don't care lol

    Like, for instance, the new ipod video nano. It's small but for movies and stuff? It's a bit too small.

    Although if they came out with a laptop that small, i guess at this point it would be called a palm top, I'd still get it because of the small factor.

    It definitely depends... small things can certainly be convenient sometimes, but if it's so small that you can barely even use it for what it's made for...like the iPod video nano thing that noncheatercheater mentioned...then what's the point? :p

    I was just looking at something for the new ipon nano w/ video... the screen is like 1" wide. Meh... waste of money in my opinion.

    Well i would prefer it to be average but can be folded to be smaller and easier for carrying. Handsphones and Mp3 i prefer to be small cuz mostly all they do is play music or some easy stuff.

    You don't want it too small or too large.

    Really small MP3 players, especially with really small buttons are really annoying.

    Yeah, smaller isn't always better. That's why I never got an iPod Shuffle- I know I'd lose it in a few days.

    Then again, I'm glad we aren't carrying around walkmans anymore. I still remember doing that in junior high... lol

    Yeah exactly. I got the 30gb ipod , but would never get the nano , it just seems too small and would break. I just got a razr phone , alot thinner then my old phone , and it takes a beating.

    Samsung ultra edition phones are way to thin. It looks like it is going to break any time.
    There is no way i am going to buy one of those.

    Smaller is better in most cases but there must be a limit.

    I think the computers we have now could be a bit smaller, but they are ok, and the phones and MP3 player's are really small, so... and if they got small you couldn't like press the buttons, you know?

    Uhm I like small mp3s and phones, but I think that smaller things are 1) the most expansive; 2) the most forgettable; 3) the most non-reparable and 4) the most breakable.
    I remember my old phone that fell to the ground so many times and never broke x3

    Phones and ipods they do because people like small easy to carry around things with alot of technology stored with them.
