Bluetooth Mouse That Stores And Charges In PC Slot
Road Warrior writes "The road warrior will appreciate the Mogo MouseBT. The Bluetooth-enabled mouse is a business-card sized mouse that stores and recharges inside your laptop's PC card slot. It will recharge in less than an hour and it will sell for $69.99. It will be interesting to see how the ergonomic of the mouse feels. The product will be introduced at CES."
That's excellent! 've been looking for a semi-cheap bluetooth mouse for my laptop, so this will be just wonderf... oh wait, macs don't have PC Card slots.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is kinky.
You would only need a bluetooth card in when you are using the mouse. When you put the mouse in the slot, there would be no need for the bluetooth card to be in there.

I, personally, love slashvertisements. As a nerd on the run, I rarely have time for news that doesn't matter, and that counts DOUBLY for advertisements.
And not only is this an advertisement, but it's an ad for a product that hasn't even been released yet! Fantastic! When my private DC-10 next touches down a year from now after months of writing code and making executive network decisions from the air, I'll be able to pop into some store and pick one up! Maybe!
For the good old fashioned slashvertisements, I sure wish Slashdot would just put a 'Buy it now' button in the story so that I can do as I'm told (BUY BUY BUY) without having to puzzle out confusing websites or being forced to interact with humans on the other end of a telephone call.
That would be... fantastic.
It will be interesting to see how the ergonomic of the mouse feels.
Kind of like a gerbil.

Hey kids of America. It's machine painted plastic mouse-in-a-slot. Mogo's favorite mouse for over two months. Who needs constant comforting ergonomic stimulation when there's mouse-in-a-slot? You just use the mouse, put it in the slot, pull it out of the slot, use it, and put it in the slot again. The mouse is not on a wire and unattached to the slot, so there's no worry if you don't put the mouse in the slot. And clean up is as easy as putting a mouse, in a slot. So why spend another day not putting a mouse in a slot when you can be using a mouse-in-a-slot?

I picked up something from Radio Shack about a year ago called iGo. little universal charging thing that you can just swap out tips for. Now instead of having 9 chargers, I have one charger and 9 tips that I can't remember what the hell they go to. Shame it doesn't work with my Dell laptop though.

A small USB cable would have made much more sense to charge the mouse than using the PC slot...
A wireless mouse, that charges via a USB cable during use?
Your ideas intrigue me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

The road warrior will appreciate the Mogo MouseBT.
Yes. Yes he will. Whether fighting for fuel, or just hangin' out in the Thunderdome, the Road Warrior will certainly love this. If only it came with a sawed-off shotgun option, or a recharge-with-pigshit option, it'd be perfect.
What's that? You're talking about regular people who travel with a laptop?
They aren't fucking road warriors! They don't kill, they don't fight; fuck, they don't even do anything FUCKING INTERESTING! They are generally the most pretentious, most boring people in the fucking world! They are not road warriors! If they wanna call themselves a "road warrior," they can meet me in the Thunderdome. Chainsaws, baby, mono-a-mono.
Any article that refers to assholes with laptops as "road warriors" automatically rates the roundfile.
Jeez.
Now, where's my lithium?
