Kindle DX vs Magazines, Journals, and Newspapers
The Amazon Kindle DX is 10.4" x 7.2" x 0.38". Bezos says it's for reading newspapers, magazines, journals, and your own PDF documents more easily. But how does it stack against its deadtree counterparts? More » -

Voodoo Envy 133 Review (Verdict: Plenty Thin, Plenty Pricey)
VoodooPC's Envy 133, the world's thinnest laptop, just started shipping, and we scored one of the first production units straight outta Calgary. It's a lithe black laptop that keeps cool while running Vista, a super light machine that's strong as hell thanks to a carbon-fiber frame. It's the size of a MacBook Air with way more tech crammed inside, including its own second Linux-based operating system. And though it costs a lot more than most laptops that perform similar chores, it does it with a grace that I haven't seen since Vista's launch. It's not a gamer's system, but the Voodoo team deserves credit for using what they've learned to build a laptop that stands out when everything else on the PC market just blends in. Does it have any flaws? Yep, plenty. Here's the full review: More » -

T-Mobile G1 Sized-Up Against its Competitors
Here's the HTC G1 (a.k.a. Dream) sized up against the iPhone and HTC's Touch Pro: it's a kinda half-way house between them both. It's narrower, but taller and fatter—thanks to the slide-out keyboard—and lacks the deftly curved shape of the iPhone 3G, but it's a shade skinner than the Touch Pro. Looks it'd fit pretty comfortably in the palm. Check out the hands on to find out how it really feels. -

iPod Nano 4th Gen Sized-Up Against Its Ancestors
Tall and slender like the first generation, curved a bit like the second generation, with the bigger screen of the third generation: the new iPod nano is clearly a product of its ancestry. And it's no longer a stubby fatty, with Jobs himself calling it the "thinnest iPod ever"—helped a bit by those curves. Check out our hands-on to see if this is an iPod you're going to like slipping into the pocket of your skinny jeans. Hands-on gallery of new nano vs last-gen "fat" nano below: More » -

World's Largest Cellphone is a Day Late, Misses Joke Deadline
Mr Tan from Songyuan city, China, claims to have built the world's largest cellphone. The cellphone stands 3-ft high and weighs in at 48lbs and is 620 times bigger than his own, normal-sized cellphone, which he used as a model for the gigantic, pointless and generally fantastic handset. More » -

LG enV2 Hands On and Sizemodo With Its Fattie Older Brother
Whatever diet LG put the enV to whip it into the enV2 is fan-freakin-tastical. It's significantly slimmer, sharper and lighter. What's sweet about the midget dust magic is that it isn't smaller and sexed up just to be smaller, it actually feels much better in your hand than the blubbery original. But the keys are a smidge bigger, so it's easier to type on than the original enV to boot. [Giz @ CTIA] -

Sprint's Samsung Instinct First Hands On and iPhone Sizemodo (UPDATED: Now with Full Tour Video)
Sprint's Instinct is so special the carrier is holding its own super special event. Unfortunately, it hasn't quite finished baking, so the full feature set wasn't entirely ready to go—we had to visit different "stations" to check out each feature individually to keep us from diving too deep. The iPhone-challenging visual voicemail, for instance, ain't quite live. Plus, it locked up when I was messing around with the music store, and needed a hard reset for the more money shot voice command features, which still didn't quite work (or finding a McDonald's is just too much). And the web browser doesn't, um, touch mobile Safari, at least not in its present state. More » -

DSLR Sizemodo: Nikon D40x vs "World's Smallest" Olympus E-420
We just got the Olympus E-420, and before we shoot a million test shots (rough approximation), we thought we'd take a look at it's biggest claim to fame: it's the smallest and lightest DSLR around. Here you see it with the relatively handy and lightweight Nikon D40x, which in body is almost totally identical to its update, the D60. Below you can see the two from all the necessary angles, with starter lenses and even on my kitchen scale—both weighed with batteries, as they should be. OK, Olympus, we get it! You're smaller than the other guys. Stay tuned to find out whether we think all that shrinkage is paying off. [Nikon; Olympus] -

Biggest Macbook Sizemodo Ever
Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but here's the final take on the subject of Mr Macbook Air's comparative girth, including not only the Dell m1330 and Sony Vaio TZ again (Little Big Red and Lil' EVDOFace), but also the 15-inch Macbook Pro (Sled Zero), the 13-inch Macbook (Spare Tire), and Apple's last real subnotebook: The PowerPC driven 12-inch Powerbook (Silver Pup). What, you don't name your laptops? UPDATE: Added TiVo remote, CD case, Blu-ray movie case, and iPhone. What else should we compare it to? More » -

How Slim Is the MacBook Air?
We compared the MacBook Air to two of the smallest laptops in the planet: the Sony Vaio TZ series and the Asus Eee PC, even while this last one can't be compared at all in terms of features. Clearly, the MacBook Air is a truly svelte little number. Hit the jump for a bigger view of the photographic comparison and the volumetric comparison. More » -

Super Cute iriver Wing UMPC Is Also Super Tiny
Scale is everything: We knew iriver's Wing touchscreen UMPC was seriously compact, but didn't know just how small it was. It's still a complete prototypeâyou're looking at dumb plastic, and the top half even sorta fell off the hingeâbut we convinced them to pull it out of the glass case so we could do a quick sizemodo. We just hope it actually comes out at this size.

Hands On iriver Aplayer vs. iPod nano: Thinner, More Gorgeous
After seeing the sexy press shot of iriver's new flash-based Aplayer (which also crams in voice recording and an FM tuner), we totally couldn't resist making the iriver guys pull it out of the case to stack up to a 2nd-gen nano we had on hand. Results? Judge for yourself.

Panasonic 150-Inch Plasma Next To That Tiny 103-Incher From Last Year
Want some perspective on that Panasonic 150-inch plasma display? Here it is with a human standing next to it, flanked by Panasonic's largest TV shown at past CESes, a 103-incher. So if you like your TVs as big as a queen-sized bed and capable of displaying an elephant in actual size, you may now begin your five-year wait for it to become available, if you can save your money fast enough.

Amazon Kindle vs. Sony Reader: Sizemodo and Interface Comparison (Gallery)
During the past week, many readers have asked us to compare the physical traits of the second-gen Sony Reader and the all-new Amazon Kindle. (If you feel a bit behind, catch up by reading our full Amazon Kindle review and verdict from last Friday.) The Sony Reader is much smaller, and weighs three ounces less than the Kindle, but the screens are exactly the same size, and use the same E-Ink technology. They have more or less the same comfort advantage over LCDs and other glowing screens—and of course, they have no backlight. More » -

Sidekick Slide Super Sizemodo
First you get a taste of what the two sexy new Sidekicks, the LX and Slide, look like side by side. (Can someone please tell me why the logos are all oriented for "portrait" when there's never been a more "landscape" phone? I need an explanation.) That, my friends, is but the appetizer. Your main course is a smorgabord of Sizemodology, pitting the new little Sidekick Slide against the roughest, toughest "consumer" smartphones around: the T-Mobile HTC Shadow, Sprint's Palm Centro, the BlackBerry Curve, and of course the iPhone. You will find that deluxe second gallery after the jump.

Sidekick LX Unboxing Gallery and Sidekick Sizemodo
The FedEx man just made us happy by dropping off a Sidekick LX, which will be available to T-Mobile customers tomorrow, and will be "widely available" on October 24th at T-Mobile stores and at t-mobile.com. Here's a look at its classy exterior, definitely more of a grown-ups Sidekick than any we've seen before. Notice the WQVGA screen with "high-definition" LCD technology, as well as the "mood lights" on the ends of the phone. Sizemodo gallery after the jump.

Sizemodo: Zunes vs. iPods
The new Zune's just slightly bigger than the iPod classic, measuring about 5mm taler and 2mm thicker. It's also slightly thinner than the 30GB Zune, with 3mm height, 1mm width and 2mm depth separating the two. When you're comparing 80GB to 80GB, the size different doesnt' seem like it's going to be enough to make any sort of meaningful difference. More » -

Sirius Stiletto 2 vs Original Sirius Stiletto
How much smaller is the new Stiletto 2 from Sirius? See for yourself, because I just shot it alongside its predecessor. Notice that the older unit has the chunky extended battery. That's because it takes the extended battery on the old Stiletto to get the same battery life that the new one gets right out of the box: 4 hours of live satellite radio, 10 hours of Sirius Internet Radio over Wi-Fi and 20 hours playback of stored content.

Sizemodo: PSP vs. Slimmer PSP
What does 19% slimmer really look like? We compare the old PSP to the new PSP (slimmer) and say that 19% doesn't really make all that big a difference. It's definitely not all that much shorter (0.6mm shorter) and narrower (2.6mm narrower). So how much is 4.4 mm really? It's 0.17 of an inch. Nothing you're really going to notice. [Sizeasy] -

HTC Touch Live Sizemodo
We aren't lying when we say the HTC Touch, HTC's newest finger-touching phone, is the smallest and thinnest Windows Mobile Professional phone we've seen. The obvious reason being that HTC's taken out the slide-out keyboard, but everything else that's good in the world seems to be intact. More » -
