tempting me to post my Pen Mouse again.,..
I go find pictures first -
Pen Mouse Optical
The Optical V-Mouse takes computer navigation to another level by combining the best of all functions into one easy-to-use ergonomic device. And with an optical sensor instead of a track ball, you'll never have to clean out lint and dirt.
Includes specially designed mouse pad with built-in magnetic stand to keep your mouse upright when not in use. Because it utilizes plug-and-play USB technology, all you have to do is plug it in.
The Winner of Japanese Good Design Award (October, 2004).
Software included:
RitePen: www.evernote.com
The ritePen can turn any handwritten words and sentences into text, as well as symbols and numbers. The ritePen will recognize cursive, print, or a combination of print and cursive writing and change it from a hand written note into text. The software does not have to be trained.
RiteMail: www.evernote.com
RiteMail gives users the option of taking endless pages of handwritten notes and sending handwritten e-mails. riteMail also provides a "copy" and "copy to text function", which can be used for signing electronic signatures (*copy signature written on riteMail to any text based program that requires a signature) and changing the entire handwritten notes to text. The program even offers a "Shape Up" feature that automatically changes hand drawn shapes into more neatly designed shapes.
Web-Memo (Finger IE Memo):
This is a truly unique program that allows the users to draw notes, highlight areas of interest and capture items displayed on a web page. If there is an interesting article the user would like to share with his/her friends, the user can make notes or highlight right on the web site. The user, then, can send the captured note(s) in the e-mail.
Finger White:
The Finger White works like the Web-memo. However, instead of being able to highlight, take notes, and capture those notes right on a web page, the Finger White will allow the user to draw notes, highlight areas of interest and capture images in any program, a phenomenal tool for professionals who give lectures and presentations.
All the above is now possible with this invention...

Quoted from a website talking abt this product:
" Right now the keyboard is still technically a prototype and the cost is hovering around US $200 to produce this keyboard." -

MacBook Pro
Powered by Intel Core Duo
MacBook Pro is the first Mac notebook built upon the revolutionary new Intel Core Duo. It's actually two processors built into a single chip ; which makes this by far the biggest leap in mobile Mac power you've ever seen.
Its 667MHz frontside bus is four times as fast as the frontside bus in the PowerBook G4, and the 667MHz DDR2 memory is twice as fast. The PCI Express bus offers up to eight times the bandwidth of the previous architecture. MacBook Pro also incorporates an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor with up to 256MB of dedicated GDDR3 memory & another leap in performance for high-end graphics and 3D applications. The result? MacBook Pro offers four times the speed of the PowerBook G4 in key performance benchmarks.
iSight Built-in
A full-scale iSight camera built at the top of the MacBook Pro's display means you're ready for video conferencing via iChat wherever you are , no cords or cameras to plug in or carry around.
MagSafe Connector
Mobile users will love the new power adapter featuring the MagSafe Connector ; a magnetic DC plug that both ensures a tight connection and enables a clean break from the power port when there is undue tension. It prevents the MacBook Pro from being pulled off of a desk when the cord is accidentally tripped over, and it protects the power cord from wear and tear.

USB Drive with File Viewing Screen
The Royal EZVue Vista Flash Drive is a new unique thumbdrive that offers a somewhat obvious innovation; a screen for viewing files on it. The 128 mb to 1 gb flash drives offer the feature of a scrolling screen to see what exactly is on the drive without plugging it into a computer. Simple it is but never the less helpful especially when you have a few usb thumbdrives laying around or simply on the run. The price starts at $49.99 for a 128 mb drive and runs up until the 149.99 1 gb drive. -
