Up on Logitech's MX1000 laser mouse, down on their MediaPlay mouse

The AP has a review of a couple of new mice from Logitech, the MediaPlay Cordless Mouse and the MX1000 (pictured at right), which uses a frickin' laser beam instead of the LED you'll find on lesser optical mice. Because of its laser the MX1000 captures 5.8 megapixels of detail per second, is about twenty times more sensitive than the average mouse,
and works on almost any flat surface. They like it, but they didn't dig on the MediaPlay Cordless Mouse so much. Not that they didn't like the six dedicated buttons for controlling Windows Media Player or RealPlayer, it's mainly because that Logitech puts a bunch of junk on your PC's desktop when you install their software.
