Having currently employment within a Japanese manufacturer of
WCDMA mobile phones and thus being exposed to the "Innards" of
such phones; following the historical challenges of making a transceiver
that would fit into a tobacco tin, is it perhaps now the time to
issue a challenge to come up with a complete transceiver design
fabricated to the size of a postage stamp?

Some of the circuits that I am engaged in testing have components
that are smaller than the smallest blob of solder I can melt!

Perhaps it is time to extend my soldering iron with a tip fashioned
from a dressmaker's pin?
