The American designed OQO e2 packs the most that you currently can into the least amount of real estate (142x84x26mm) for a PC, and that’s what it is. It’s not a phone or a PDA it’s a full on PC with either Windows XP or Vista, a 1.5GHz processor, 1GB of memory and a 60GB hard drive. You can stuff this in a large pocket and do everything you do on your desktop PC. The catch is you have to use your thumbs on the dinky keyboard which is apparently a bit too big to do this comfortably but too small to type conventionally. So, if you have freakishly small hands this could be the ticket.  While much of the world often looks to Japan for good product design, particularly of ultra-compact objects, Japan itself has looked to San Francisco-based OQO for one of its more well-regarded products. OQO's model 02 computer, has won Japan's prestigious Good Design Award; it is the world's smallest fully-functional Windows machine, with a sliding-tablet form factor.
