Strong dollar driving e-commerce
October 31, 2007 By Peter Wolchak
Categories: General
E-commerce may finally be taking off in Canada, but not for the reasons long touted by 'net proponents.

Small. Really small

This MP3 player has a lot of features: 500-song capacity, 20-hour battery, an alarm clock, FM radio, voice recorder, stopwatch and—rare in an MP3 player—a built-in speaker. And it packs all that in a tiny space: check out the paperclip in the photo.
