Here is a folding bike that costs less than $300 and is only 27 lbs. Thats a pretty damned good deal, if you need a folding commuter bike. You probably aren't going to get any lighter than aluminum unless someone invents a carbon fiber or titanium folding bike - but then it'll cost you $10,000 (and crabon can break).

Now, if you want a fast folding bike, the Bike Friday bikes are really great at it - and are pretty small when all folded up. Great for mass transit. Takes about 2 seconds to fold the thing up:
