You think your ultraportable laptop is small? It's gigantic compared to the new Linux PC created in France. It's crammed into a USB key, measuring a mere 1.40-inches by 3.3-inches. At that size, it's not going to be loading up Unreal Tournament anytime soon, as it's not exactly high powered: it's got a 190MHz processor, 64MB of SDRAM and 256MB of NAND flash memory for storage.

This feat of compact computing isn't going to replace your personal computer anytime soon, but it could feasibly work as a wee word processor. Not that you'll have an opportunity to buy one at your local Best Buy or anything, as this seems to have been a strictly experimental affair, not one meant for consumption by the general public. Sorry, lovers of tiny devices. — Adam Frucci
