Absurdly Small Cellphone

We’ve shown you tiny phones before, but this is getting ridiculous: the Xun Chi 138 is scarcely larger than an AA battery and it weighs just two ounces. Too small to even dial, it requires you to use a stylus on a touchscreen and plug in a headset to talk and listen.

Although the phone looks more like a doll accessory then anything else it still manages to pack a punch.

The Xun Chi 138 is said to come built-in with a 1.3 megapixel camera, a touch screen with handwriting recognition, an MP3 player and support for GPRS connections (most likely a built in web browser too).

Of course its impossible to squeeze all the bells and whistles into a device that weighs 55 grams and measures 2.64 inches in length. So it doesn’t come with a keypad, Bluetooth, or any expansion slot.

No word on which markets will see this device but expect it to debut in Asia.

Since it only supports Chinese character recognition, we won’t be seeing it stateside anytime soon, but before it’s shipped here the company might consider learning how to spell the word "megapixels."
