This nifty little rechargeable, cordless, Bluetooth mouse is a great accessory for laptop users that have to have a mouse.  The mouse has a right, left, and scroll button.  It is pretty basic, but not without its benefits. The mouse features up to a 10 meter range and offers 800pdi resolution. The rechargeable AAA batteries are of the 700mA Ni-MH variety.

Pricing: It is priced competitively with other mice of similar functionality.

Pros: This thing is small.  It comes with a carry bag for the mouse and its accessories.  It is super easy to hook up.  Aside from setting up Bluetooth software, there is no other software, no messy drivers and the like.  It comes with two AAA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries so you don’t have to fuss with swapping them out all the time.  This mouse uses a cable to charge its self through USB and will function as a cored mouse while in charging mode. The mouse does have a power off switch to improve battery life for those times during long storage.

The notion is very attractive:  You’ve got a PDA.  Wouldn’t it be great to have a way to use it as a GPS in your car?  There are a number of devices out there that clip on, transmit by Bluetooth, plug in by USB or card slot - surely something works. 

If you could find something that could hold your PDA, charge it up and add GPS functionality as well, wouldn’t that be just cool?

I thought it would, and so when I got an opportunity to try out an Arkon Powered GPS Docking cradle and their MobiNavigator software for my Axim V50x, I jumped at the chance.
