 NEW YORK (AP) - Nobody wants to lug around a 10-pound laptop anymore, but while computer makers scramble to roll out models that are ever smaller and lighter, nobody has stopped to ask just how small is too small.
Dialogue Technology Corp.'s Flybook and Fujitsu Ltd.'s Lifebook P1500 are two purse-size tablet computers that beg the question. Each has 8.9-inch displays and weighs less than 3 pounds.
I was fully prepared to fall for the Flybook. It's immeasurably cooler, with an array of flashy colors such as "Purple Red" and "Yellow Cab." The design is so gorgeous, you almost want to take a bite out of it. The silver Lifebook, by contrast, feels more like an older, mousy sister — mature and responsible, but not as much fun.
