A good 25 years after producing the first mouse designed to integrate seamlessly with Word, Microsoft Hardware has unveiled a peripheral tailored for notebook computers that is already being applauded as an excellent device. The Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 has been declared a CES Innovations 2008 honoree, and Microsoft hesitated little to boast the success. The mouse is addressed at users of notebooks and is built with Windows Vista in mind.

"The Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 was named a CES Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Awards honoree. Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a pre-eminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the trade press to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting-edge consumer electronics products. The Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 will be on display at the 2008 International CES trade show to be held in Las Vegas, Jan. 7-10", Microsoft revealed.

The Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 is the company's response to the increasing number of notebook users. With Windows Vista and the 8000 mouse, Microsoft is in fact showcasing its commitment to satisfying the extensive and ever increasing needs for mobility. The mouse has already been made available for no less than $99.95, a bargain considering that the device comes equipped with GB of Flash memory integrated into the transceiver.

"This comfortable right-handed mouse also features 2.4GHz wireless technology designed to provide a confident connection even in crowded wireless environments. It also has a selectable Bluetooth mode, enabling Bluetooth PC users to connect the mouse directly to their computer. The sleek design features a metal top-case and glossy black surfaces for a high-end look and feel. Computing on the go has never been more productive, with the Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 freeing up USB ports and delivering all the tools consumers need to get the job done in one elegant, compact device", Microsoft added.
