It's made of aluminum, though, so it's really light, maybe half the weight of a penny.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/Feb 22nd 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/
6mm x 6mm seems roughly to be the size that a square that size would fit exactly into a US quarter with the corners touching the edges. Or maybe I'm off.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/Feb 22nd 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/
So, if that coin can be trusted to be round, the component can be trusted to be square. See, don't you feel silly for arguing with Mrs. Harris back in the 9th grade about never needing to know how to do this stuff?]]>Feb 22nd 2008 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/Feb 22nd 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/Feb 22nd 2008 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/sharp-develops-worlds-smallest-1seg-tv-tuner/
You could fit 4 of these tuners inside a dime!

A nickel is 1.95mm thick. So, the easiest way for an American to quantify the size of this to say, "It is a square whose sides are about three nickel thicknesses long."
