A Bluetooth/USB Mouse with a Touchpad

How’s this for a combination? The Phillips Bluetooth Notebook Mouse SPM9800/10 is not only a Bluetooth Mouse but it has a USB interface for when your batteries run out or your Bluetooth goes flaky or if you need to recharge it. And, instead of a click wheel it has a 360 ° TouchControl sensor that serves as essentially a touchpad. You can supposedly pick this up off of your mousepad and use the TouchControl to move your cursor to your heart’s content. The slogan says “Touch me everywhere.”

It should be available in Europe this fall for $80.
