It's nearly fall and that can mean only one thing: er, new mice and webcams from Microsoft. Yeah, about as exciting as moms taking you shopping for new big-boy school trousers. Granted, the 1.3 megapixel
LifeCam NX-3000 and 2 megapixel LifeCam VX-7000 are decent and all as are the new $50 Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 and $50 Wireless (RF) Notebook Laser Mouse 7000. But the action, Jackson, comes with the October release of the $100 Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 (pictured). We're talking both 2.4GHz
and Bluetooth packed into the transceiver (toggled with a switch) with 1GB of flash baked-in allowing it to pull double-duty as a flash drive. Nice, but the laser mouse itself features a 3-contact, magnetically-held charging cable which automatically senses whether you're using a rechargeable AAA (included) or off-the-shelf Alkaline when in a jam. Snap the transceiver in-place beneath the mouse and everything powers off presto quick. Peep the gallery for a healthy mix of hands-on and glamor-shot action.

So, suddenly they decide to go all brushed metal...
"weird"! ;)
Great. It looks like obesity is moving towards electronic gear now.
Bad luck for the left-handers around here though; looks like Apple got it right with its Mighty Mouse...
Seriously though, these look like decent little mice. The only thing I'd be wary of, is that they feel the need to add a gimmick such as the 1GB flash.

If it wasn't clear for some people, what with following that statement with "Seriously though" and all, I was joking about the mighty mouse. Although, I do wonder if this mouse comes in a left-handed model.
I thought that multiple computer mouse was actually mouses not mice,I thought I heard that somewhere.
I disagree Daniel, a removable charging cord with a 1GB flash drive sounds brilliant, and handy to me.
I still don't get the need for a flash drive though, it just sounds gimmicky to me. That removable charging lead however, looks like a damn good idea after all the times I have forgot to put my mouse on charge.
Flashdrive sounds good, it could be used for readyboot on laptops without wasting a usb port.
I just wish they'd release working drivers for their current LifeCam hardware on Windows Vista x64.
Having customers unable to use your products on your operating system is bad enough. Releasing newer stuff whilst we wait for updated drivers is practically a slap in the face.
Seriously? Because Apple is now using brushed metal iMacs + iPods, you're implying everything else is an attempt to copy your beloved Jobs?
Get over yourself. My two 24" Dell monitors have been brushed metal + black accents for years.
Oh, and my new appliances are brushed metal & black. Did GE copy Apple, too? You're seriously sad, and a perfect example of why I won't ever buy a Mac: fanboyism is far too strong on that side of the fence.
If you're so dumb that you won't buy something because of someone else owning it, then we don't want you to be a Mac user.
PC fanboys are the epitome of misery loves company.
I'm left-handed and I always use my right hand for my mouse. I can only "draw" with my mouse with my right hand. Weird, eh?
Jeeze... Microsoft releases anything and all the f'in Apple fanboys jump on the bashing bandwagon- ffs, get your heads outta your asses-
a) these look nothing like the Apple products
b) stop w/ the ZOMG! THEY ZTOLEN TEH COLORZ!
c) don't even mention the Mighty Mouse - while its definitely beautiful, its soo horribly un-ergonomic
and finally STOP F!@#ING EMBARRASSING US MAC USERS WITH YOUR FANBOYISM
--but on the topic, not bad - imo, Microsoft always did make great mice and they've always been on the top of my list - now their webcams I never tried so I can't really comment on them, but they don't look too shabby.
good convo to read while your stoned, i'd buy that mouse, it has a flash drive lol
What I want to know is whether the scroll wheel has clicks or are completely free moving. I hate the free moving ones...
... I sure know sombody how can use that ... I have been using microsofts mice for years (but I do use a logitech for gaming) ^_^
Homer: Welcome to the Internet, my friend. How can I help you?
Comic Book Guy: I'm interested in upgrading my 28.8 kilobaud Internet connection to a 1.5 megabit fiber optic T1 line. Will you be able to provide an IP router that's compatible with my token ring Ethernet LAN configuration?
Homer (after staring blankly): Can I have some money now?
I'm in to try a new microsoft mouse. Hope it is better than the 6000 notebook mouse I used before my logitech.

Too many rules; so little time.
Happy Friday! May the force be with you.. not hot on your heels.
