Agreed. But I wonder about the propulsion system? At that scale jets are 
not possible, you need to use cilia.

Sonia Contera (one of our local professors of nanotechnology) is working 
on a book, and I listened to her talk yesterday. It is pretty clear that 
real nanomachines will look weirdly organic rather than Apple smooth 
plastic.

For presentation purposes this might or might not matter, depending on 
audience.
