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."

Comfort??

[AC-x]

What ever happened to comfort? Those mini-mice you can get are bad enough, but this looks worse then those apple puck mice. Where do you rest your wrist?

It may look cool, but just looking at it is giving me carpel tunnel!

Re:Is this a new /. service?

I personally think the best new mouse is the YapperMouse. It's got a speakerphone for Skype. A speakerphone. In a mouse. You can also pick up the mouse to answer calls. How very Get Smart.

Anybody else have any good 'multi-function' mouse sightings?

Why not real innovation

[HikingStick]

Apart from the sales reps who will want this device to try to convince their non-technical customers that they (the sales reps) are the real digital superheros of this information age, only a few executives with big egos and no sense of self worth will find a real use for this device. Why not innovate a little bit beyond the mouse. Were this a PC-card touch-pad that could sit in one hand and be controlled by my thumb, I might be interested. [Note to self: send patent application for PC-card thumb pad device ASAP, or find rich industrialist who will pay me $50 for the idea.] It's just a mouse. I've used nothing but a laptop for four years now, and I have learned to be very efficient with keyboard shortcuts and my stick mouse. For your typical data pusher (I won't insult any gamers or casual surfers by suggesting that a mouse is useless), that's all you really need. The mouse is really only useful when the tab stops are not set well, or when you don't know your shortcut menus. So to me, this is a notch on a manufacturer's belt, or a trophy piece for a gadget freak. Dang, give me a gyroscopic bluetooth wristband that will respond to my hand movements--then you'll be talking innovation. [Second note to self: Stop posting all of your potential money-making ideas through my comments on Slashdot.]
