1. so... why would you want something that small?

I mean I understand the utility of small, but that's just ridiculous.

7. If you make them small enough, they can fit inside ears.

The Sub-woofer is a suppository.

:yoiks:

14. So most of them will wind up..

...... going through the washing machine and you'll have to buy another.

2. There is such a thing as TOO small...and that might be gettin' close.

That's just CRAZY small right there.

[everythingsxen]

3. Why are products getting smaller?

So they are easier to lose of course.

It's a conspiracy.

[Mutley]

4. I'd break or lose that.

It's way too small for me.

[Kajsa]

5. Oh no! Steve went too far this time.

I'm a big Mac fan, but this is waaay to small.
Too small to operate, too easy to lose, it's
not good.

Your thumb alone would cover half it it.

6. ... but have you seen the iPod Flea?!

8. While waiting for the iPod "Subderma", consider the Freudian side to this

The psychosis behind this is obvious. Don't you realize that most men who are attracted to carrying such a tiny little thing in their pockets are actually trying to compensate for having unusually large penises?

9. Oh - I thought that's what the actress said to the Bishop.....

:o

[Redstone]

10. Fucking ridiculous. Like the shrinking cellphones. Pretty soon, you'll

need to carry a toothpick with you to be able to press the buttons.

11. I wish they would have doubled the size and tripled the battery life.

I am glad they made the enclosure aluminum.. The old Shuffle felt really cheap. The new Nano is teh hawt!

edit -- Nano not Nana

12. New IPod: breaks when you breath on it!

[tinfoil tiaras]

13. ugh i hate shuffles

they're too small and you can't see which song is playing on it...grr

[deadparrot]

15. I....would lose that in half a second.

It'd probably get thrown into the laundry or something.

[SoyCat]

16. Tiny cell phones, tiny IPods...ugh! I don't exactly have "man hands" but

I really have a hard time dialing a number on my cell phone because the damned thing has such tiny numbers. Fast food restaurants want us to "super size" everything and electronics manufacturers make everything tiny. We'll all be Gulivers with Lilliputian gadgets!
