The peripheral market is getting ready to welcome a new wireless mouse into its fold, one that doesn't use Bluetooth connectivity, relying on the WiFi technology instead.
The past month has definitely seen a strong influx of wireless computing and electronic products, but the flow doesn't look like it is bound to stop any time soon.
In fact, just a short time ago, two certain companies announced, via a press release, that they had collaborated on a wireless mouse.
The companies in question are Targus and Ozmo Devices, while the mouse bears the name of AMW58US.
Based on the OZMO2000 chip, the laser mouse doesn't even have a receiver, as it does not need one, being capable of linking straight to a PC's own WiFi connection.
"We are thrilled to see a brand name like Targus embrace Wi-Fi peripherals,"
said Bill McLean, chief executive officer, Ozmo Devices.
"This further illustrates the rapid market adoption of Ozmo's innovative and cost-effective solution. Ozmo is quickly establishing itself as a formidable player in the wireless HID (Human Interface Devices) market."
Among other things, the newcomer has a four-way scroll wheel (scrolls horizontally and vertically) and a laser sensor, plus two high-quality Energizer batteries that can last for up to 9 months on a single charge, depending on usage.
"Wi-Fi is ubiquitous today, and we are excited that our next generation of mobile PC peripherals is powered by Wi-Fi technology," said Carolyn Perrier, vice president of product management, accessories at Targus.
"Our new line of Wi-Fi Laser mice with Ozmo's unique Wi-Fi technology offers a hassle-free connection to bring you optimal comfort, performance and usage."
Targus gave the AMW58US WiFi Laser Mouse a price of $49.99 and will ship it starting this month (September, 2011).
Unfortunately, the announcement did not arrive in tow with the possibility of setting pre-orders.
