When it comes to technology, smaller is--more often than not--better, and here at CNET, we get to beat up some of the coolest, smallest tech around. The Nokia 7280's distinct styling won't suit everyone, but you can't argue that this is one compact and sleek cell phone. The MobiBlu DAH-1500i isn't just tiny; it's downright cute. And seriously, if it got any smaller, it wouldn't exist. The Casio Exilim EX-S500 is a sweet (and bright orange) digital camera that's slim enough to fit easily into a pants pocket, which is great because who wants to lug around a huge camera all the time? Few laptops are as sexy as the OQO Model 01; with its unique slider design, you'll be the envy of the tech world as you rock this portable. Here's something you probably thought would never be portable or travel-friendly: a printer. Well, check out the amazing Brother mPrint MW-140BT, and you might change your mind. For city dwellers, you can't beat the 2005 Mini Cooper S convertible. Fun to drive and easy to park, it's the ultimate in tiny tech. Read our reviews and snatch one up for yourself. More resources

| Review summary | While its design is purely a matter of taste, the 7280 is a feature-packed cell phone that performed well in our tests. | If you love all things tiny, consider picking up MobiBlu's cute cube, the DAH-1500i. | This camera will make a great companion for snapshot photographers who like to travel light but don't want to make large prints. | Beyond its wow factor, the wallet-size Brother MW-140BT is a perfect fit for anyone needing minute prints from a PDA. | Beyond its wow factor, the wallet-size Brother MW-140BT is a perfect fit for anyone needing minute prints from a PDA. |
