EXCLUSIVE: MoGo Mouse & HP = HP Bluetooth PC Card Mouse

Last December I saw a press release of a new mouse that was about to come to market. It had a very simple but unique design that promised to redefine Mobility on the Go! The MoGo Mouse is a Bluetooth-enabled, palm-size mobile mouse that could very well be the perfect solution for folks that dislike carrying a mouse while on the road.

What was unique about this mouse was that it was designed to fit in the PCMCIA slot of your computer while traveling yet while at work, it easily slid out of the slot, had a leg that flipped open to simulate what I thought was the feel of a regular mouse and connected via Bluetooth. What was even better was that you didn’t have to carry any cords for charging because, while at rest in the PCMCIA slot, it charged itself.

This past July I wrote a Review: I GO! --- You GO! --- Lets MoGo! where I captioned the MoGo Mouse as as "An innovative mouse that reinvigorates the meaning of mobility!"

HP is all about innovation in mobile computing and they are announcing that they have licensed Newton Peripherals Bluetooth-enabled wireless MoGo Mouse and will call it the HP Bluetooth PC Card Mouse.

The following is the Newton Peripherals Press Release:
