Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000, the first laptop mouse to serve as a slide presenter, a laser pointer, a media remote control and a 2.4GHz Bluetooth laser mouse, will be available in mid-October 2006.
Along with standard mouse functions, this four-in-one device includes control buttons needed for easy presentation navigation — forward, back and full screen — and incorporates a laser pointer for highlighting a key statistic or graph. The presentation keypad also can be used as a media control pad. Users can play, pause, change tracks and adjust volume.
The Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 has a battery life indicator and an on/off switch to help you save battery life. The mouse has up to 30 feet of range.
Microsoft estimates that Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 will cost around $100.
