Sony’s Talking Mouse
Published by Budda May 15th, 2006 in Gadgets, Laptops, Computing, Communication, VOIP.
Sony announced the launch of the MouseTalk, a new VAIO PC peripheral that acts as both an optical mouse and an Internet phone.
The Skype certified clamshell mouse flips open to become an Internet phone to make and receive calls around the world through Skype.
Features include: mouse wheel controlled mute, echo-cancellation technology, volume and number select controls and a hands-free mode.
However, what happens if you are on the phone and you want to go through some emails or lookup something online whilst talking?
With a laptop you have a fall back (your integrated mousepad/nipple) but if you have it on a docking station, or you use a desktop then you may have a problem!

Funny…
Sony is copying ANOTHER thing….
First their control doesn’t have motion sensing and now they want people to talk on their mouse which is very similar to another article which i read earlier today. *sigh* sony you are a disapointment
Okay thats all good but what happens when you want to talk at the same time as search the web? Start scrolling the mouse on your head?
