Just saw this on the mouse-phone, no wait, phone-mouse from Genius. The Genius Navigator 380 apparantly supports Skype, MSN, Yahoo!, GoogleTalk, QQ, and AIM. When you get a voice call over IM, your mouse, er rings. Just snap it open and take the call. Kind of reminds me of Max Smart’s shoe phone.
So much for working while you talk on the phone
I thought, wow how cool is that until I realized that I won’t be able use my mouse to surf the web while I’m talking on the phone. No multitasking, no sale.
I know, it seems silly doesn’t it. I think the product is targeted at laptop users–business people who travel a lot. Presumably when you use the phone, you use the laptop touchpad for mousing.
