The Littlest Treadmill

What's a good compact treadmill for jogging?
I live in a tiny tiny apartment. I'd like to get a little treadmill that 1) folds up 2) goes up to at least 6mph. I'm 5'3 so probably the shorter the belt the better. Have you owned such a treadmill? Any personal recommendations?

It's relatively compact, and can be folded up when you're not using it - we keep it in our (smallish) spare room, and folding it up saves space and means you can vacuum underneath it without problems. It got good reviews generally, and we're pretty pleased with it so far - the only downside is that it doesn't have a cup holder! It also links via bluetooth to your choice of mobile platform, and you can use Google Maps to plot out courses and the treadmill automatically changes incline through your run based on route info from Google.
In theory the tablet app allows you to have Google Earth up on your tablet screen so that you can run famous routes and go past the landmarks, but the app crashes for us. We'd recommend the treadmill anyway.
Edited to add - the one we bought has speed and distance measured in kilometres, which may or may not be a) true of the US model, and b) a downside for you.
