Microsoft outs Explorer Touch Mouse with BlueTrack tech

, Jul 11th 2011 Discuss [0]

The gang over at Pocket-Lint went to the big Christmas in July event Microsoft put on recently in London and spied an interesting sounding mouse in the corner getting little attention. Microsoft has this event each year (if you are wondering) because it takes many print publications a good six months to ramp up their holiday coverage. At any rate, the mouse is rather cool and uses Microsoft's BlueTrack tech inside. Read The Full Story

, Jun 27th 2011 Discuss [17]

When was the last time you used a mouse? The last time I used a mouse, it was the late 1990s and I was playing the MMORPG Diablo II. Sidenote: Diablo III is coming out soonish, (within the next year, we hope,) and I may need a mouse – any suggestions? Since then, essentially every person I know, my age or otherwise, has been using a laptop for all their computing needs. A desktop replacement, rather, with a trackpad and no need for a mouse.

Logitech outs iPad and Honeycomb tablet accessories

, May 19th 2011 Discuss [1]

Logitech has outed a fulsome bevy of tablet accessories, with a choice of wireless keyboards, keyboard docks, speaker systems and more for your iPad or Android slate.
