Abstract
Some possible connections between p-adic string theory and noncommutativity are considered. Their relation to the uncertainty in space measurements at the Planck scale is discussed. Existence of new p-adic string amplitudes is pointed out. Some similarities between p-adic solitonic branes and noncommutative scalar solitons are emphasized. More explicit and deeper connections between string field theory and p-adic string theory could emerge in the near future.
