A mouse that clings on forever

This may come across as an oddity. After all mice that stick to laptops aren’t the most common sight in the world. But if you’re prone to leaving your wireless mouse behind, or find it a hassle to carry it along with your laptop, the Logitech V550 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse is a convenient tool. It features a Clip-and-Go dock that clips on or attaches to your laptop, and also includes a nano-receiver that only protrudes a mere 8mm. It retails for SGD89, but comes with perks such as an 18 months battery life, and automatic shut down when docked. It even runs on a lossless 2.4GHz wireless technology. Each V550 Nano comes with two coloured docks - silver and black. Who says mice aren’t fun to play with?

Who says women don’t need watches? After the launch of the Sony Ericsson MW-150 Bluetooth watches, the phone specialist has teamed up with Fossil to launch the women’s version – MBW-200. The watches are as distinctive as the men’s models, but also distinctively more sparkly. They come in Sparking Allure, Contemporary Elegance and Evening Classic designs. They each display the caller ID, and vibrate when a call or SMS is received. They can even control music playback on your mobile phone and feature both digital and analogue movements. These resilient watches are even water resistant (up to 3ATM). No word on the pricing yet, but watch out for their availability in Q4.

Longer lasting batteries are always nice


This morning, the Gadget3 crew sauntered over to Chevron House in the CBD to check out Panasonic's new creation, the Evolta battery. By using new ways to pack a lot of power into an alkaline battery the same size as your regular AA and AAA batties, the Evolta has become the longest lasting battery, and it has a Guiness Book of Records listing to prove it.

Of course, Panasonic wasn't about to just flash a Guiness Book of Records seal and be done with that, so they proved it to us with a couple of helicopters. Find out more below!

Like it or not, old photos will fade after a while when not stored properly. A great way to combat that is to convert them all to digital format and save them on the computer. The tool needed to do so is a decent scanner, like the new Epson Perfection V200 Photo Scanner.
