Jeff Kirvin mentioned the dimensions on 1src Podcast 22. In US measurements, it's 4.7 x 2.9 x 0.8 in. The classic Palm III dimensions (the largest PDA I am willing to carry in a pocket) were 4.7 x 3.2 x 0.7 in, so the LifeDrive is not as wide but slightly thicker. A closed Tungsten T3 is 4.3 x 3.0 x 0.6 in, while open its length is ~5.0in. I still haven't heard any weight estimates, but with the hard drive inside you can expect it to be heavier than the T5, though maybe not heavier than the T3, since the LifeDrive will apparently save weight by using plastic casing.
