And who exactly did they design this for?]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/

"Embodies the next generation office concept"

"No need to move to use the phone"

Wow. I think you really need to rethink your priorities if you're too busy to let go of your mouse to answer a call.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/
Pick Up A Stick And Hit The Designers, AndSay "NO! BAD! BAD!"...]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/

Honestly though, it isn't hard to believe that someone is attempting this. We're putting out more and more gadgets that mindlessly attempt to cram together every functionality imaginable. This is just sort of a sadly hilarious bit of commentary in the form of a destined to fail product.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/So the benefit is having a place for your cordless phone that is instantly at hand, while being always on charge.
Of course the extra weight, would also provide wrist exercise!]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/
First, what if you push a button accidentaly and make a long-distant phone call while you're concentrating on your Word-document (com'on, who's playing Battlefield 2 and would buy this pearl?).

Second, I think it is just a teaser, a quirk in your flow of thoughts that make you stand still about gadgets on the universal level. Are we going to the edge or not? Have we seen the edge yet, are there gadgets out there that are beyond our imagination or could we take a step back and reconsider this whole development?

Third, it is possible that this manufacturer is a dare-devil. They are trying things out, push the envelope, make rediculous things in the process before they make the next generation tool everybody wants (time-machines anyone?).

Fourth, there is no fourth because most thing keep it to three to make it into more sense.... (do I?).

a keyboard / foot warmer
(because you get cold feet when you type... wait....no)
an umbrela / cellphone (Becase you only call when its raining, right?)
Digital camera / Lawn mower?

come on, its a bad idea, done badly, just let it die

As for this product I actually have another mouse with a built in phone and it's quite useful - with a skype phone USB adapter.

I don't see why everybody is so much against the idea. Engadget...judging the mice's ergonomics by "looks"..and it "looks" to be non-optical. if you are judging the product by a picture alone, your beloved iPod will be the worst product in the world. "omg it has no play button" "omg it has no volume buttons" "it LOOKS unergonomic" "it LOOKS like its made of cheap white plastic" its a shame.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/11/ap-100-mouse-phone-why/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AM
