As usual, Steve covered the subject very well with his expertise!

For pictures of the "card" models, look here:

Sphinx model:

Fidelity model:

I've tried to find the smallest models before and I think those are the ones.
That is, for "dedicated" chess computers. If you want the smallest computers
that can play chess, with software loaded, I'd bet on the Rex 6000 PDA (the size
of a credit card but with the LCD display that shows the entire chess table) and
the Ruputer wrist watch computer. I know there are chess programs for both but
don't expect them to strong programs. Just as a curiosity item though, I'd like
to have both of them ;)
