Three Miniature Gadgets For Your Pocket

Size does matter and in the world of tech toys smaller, more portable gadgets are the preferred choice. Here are three great finds that I’m putting on my wishlist.

Small on the outside. Big storage on the Inside

Freecom, a German technology company, claims its Mobile Drive XXS is the world’s smallest external 2.5″ hard drive. While it’s small on the outside, the device offers up to 500GB of storage space! It could go down as one of the sexiest ones too; designed by Belgian top designer Sylvain Willenz, the product received an iF Product Design Award this year.

The Mobile Phone goes Mini

Weighing in at only 40.1 grams and measuring a mere 72mm x 37mm x 7.8mm, the Modu is the world’s lightest mobile phone. Don’t believe me? Ask the Guinness World Records. What’s even better is that it’s marketed as a modular phone too meaning that you get to choose the features that best suit your lifestyle with mate devices, which include things like media players, digital photo frames, GPS devices and digital cameras. Yes please!

Take the Bulk out of your Camcorder

Everyone is talking about YouTube but not everyone’s on it. I think that’s about to change thanks to the Flip Mino HD camcorder, dubbed the lightest and possibly smallest HD camcorder around. Weighing only 3.3 ounces, this camcorder comes with built-in memory for up to 60 minutes of high-quality video, a rechargeable lithium ion battery and full editing software for viewing, editing, and one-click emailing and uploading to MySpace, YouTube and other video sites.
