They are priced at $80 and $100.

HP Photosmart A716
These small, tightpacked printers were $249. They have a video jack for playing slideshows on the TV and a 4 GB hard-drive for storing photos. The pictures have a great quality to them when printed out, proving that small is better that large in many ways.

Nintendo DS Lite
A new upgrade to the famous Nintendo DS, The Nintendo DS Lite is a tiny 5.9 by 3.3 by 1.1 inches. Why should you buy this new DS? Because the screen, which is not effected by the size, is brighter and has better video quality. The cost of this new system was only $130.
