Gyration unveils M2000 Travel Air-Mouse

Although Gyration's announcement isn't likely to be viewed as the most exciting news to emerge from DigitalLife, the firm is nevertheless unveiling its forthcoming M2000 Travel Air-Mouse for the wand-lovin' road warriors. The device boasts UltraSense technology and "works on a flat surface or in the air with a 100-foot range of wireless freedom." Additionally, the outfit brags that the unit's Swipes technology will allow users to "initiate any command with a flick of the wrist," which is sure to give Wii addicts a sensation they're comfortable with. Unfortunately, you'll be waiting till Q1 of next year before you can actually wrap your hands (yeah, it's got an ambidextrous design) around it, but those in the market for a keyboard too can skip over the $69.95 standalone box and nab the $99.95 bundle.

Someone needs to introduce Gyration to Bluetooth.

Bluetooth is typically a third of the ranged listed for this product.

Gyration's wireless keyboards are by far the worst I've ever used. Their "GO Air Mouse" thing is very sweet, though.

Logitech's MX-Air has the same type of controls, and is available now. It uses bluetooth, so the range is only 30 feet, but how often are you going to be standing further from your screen than that and still have a need to interact with it?

It appears to be somewhat ergonomically friendly. Is the word finally spreading?

The Logitech MX Air mouse is for desktop use. It is large and has a large base that is uses to recharge. Since this is a "travel" air mouse I would assume it is about the same size as other laptop travel mice.

The Logitech Air mouse does not use bluetooth, it uses a 30' RF receiver.
