The A4Tech Optical mouse is an interesting mouse because it does not require batteries. It is also wireless which is what makes this mouse interesting. Instead of using batteries it is powered by electromagnetic induction which charges from the mouse pad. The mouse pad gets it’s power from the USB connection of your PC and then transmits this power to the mouse to keep it running. I think this is a great idea. Cordless mice batteries do last quite a while, but when they die you tend to not be prepared and have to dash to the shops quickly.

It has a resolution of 800dpi and and might not make it to this side of the world. It is priced at $21 over in Korea.

WirelessHD is set for a launch in 2008. WirelessHD works on the idea of having everything connected together without cables. Just looking around the back of my TV shows that this idea is great. I have several cables behind my TV and without touching them they get tangled and look a mess.

WirelessHD is a joint venture between LG, Panasonic, NEC, Samsung, SiBEAM, Sony and Toshiba. It is named WirelessHD or WiHD and it is intended to enable high definition audio and video streaming to consumer electronic devices. The system will run on the 60Ghz frequencies and data transmit speeds are supposed to be incredible. This in turn will create point to point display for HDMI and DVI.

More details will follow as they arrive.

Hela have created an ergonomic mouse layout. The motion of reaching over to your mouse all day apparantly causes wrist pain and is not ideal. The Hela Glider mouse is set to combat this by putting the mouse in the middle of the keyboard (just below it). It reminds me of air hockey and glides on a pad. The response and precision is supposed to be excellent. I am not fully convinced about the wrist pain from a regular mouse. I never have a problem, but maybe that research is correct 😉

Sony are great when it comes to style and cramming a lot in to a small space. The G1 is the latest to hit the market and weighs in at less then 2 lbs.. 1.8 lbs to be precise. It has a 12.1 inch display, 1.5Gb RAM and an 80Gb hd. It’s a similar size to previous models but the case it made of carbon and this is what helps it loose it’s weight. The battery has a nice life of 12 hours and thats the on board battery.

The PS3’s hunger for power has been posted around today. It’s quite a hungry machine. Just to point out a few comparisons first the PS2 used around 45 watts of power. The XBOX 360 needed a little bit more juice and ate at 160 watts. However, the PS3 is set to need a massive 380 watts to keep that thing running. Thats a fair bit 🙂

The glowing power cable has been mentioned quite a bit today around various websites. The power cable looks like a regular powercable, but when power is being used through it then it will glow. The more power that is delivered through it the brighter it glows and then also pulses.
