If you think the Raon Digital Everun was the smallest, think again. Ultramobilelife was given a glimpse of an ultra-mobile PC that is almost the same size as portable media players.

Based on the VIA Mobile ITX chassis, the MTube holds a 1GHz VIA processor, 2.8-inch VGA screen and 8GB of storage. All in a body that measures a mere 85 x 85 x 20mm and weighs 150g. Though it runs Linux and not Windows' power-hogging Vista OS, battery life is none too impressive at four hours. The MTube will hopefully hit stores in 2009.
