At the click of a mouse

Memory at hand

Microsoft's latest Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 is an interesting device. Like earlier Microsoft devices, this one too is awkwardly tiny with uncomfortable ergonomics (you'll have to figure out how to hold the mouse for most comfort), but its features will have you sit up and take notice.

The most noticeable of these is the 1GB flash storage capacity aboard the transceiver, which acts as a wireless connector to the mouse as well as a portable storage unit to quickly move files from one PC to another. Result, it doubles up as a USB thumb drive for sharing documents, photos or the latest episode of the hot TV show. For Rs 3,500, it isn't cheap but it might appeal to the few who want extra "handy" memory.
