The OpenBlockS 600 is a Linux server that fits in your palm

“A Japanese vendor is touting a lilliputian Linux Web server
that weighs 8 ounces and consumes just 8 watts.

“At 5.2-inches-by-3.1-inches in size — and 1.2 inches thick —
the OpenBlockS 600 is about the size of two cigarette packs
side-by-side. For non-smokers, that’s two iPhones stacked on top of
each other.

“Starting at $600, the OpenBlockS 600 from Plat’Home Co. Ltd.
includes a 600 MHz PowerPC CPU, 1 GB of DDR2 SDRAM and a
CompactFlash slot and 3 USB 2.0 ports for internal and external
storage. Detailed specs are available online.”
