A company in South Korea has launched their new portable Porsche 911 wireless mouse.  I don’t think these will ever make it to the States unless they did get some branding approval from Porsche or maybe they will pass as knockoffs.  (but the Porsches do look awfully real for mouse)

Well, last but not least, you do get to become a Porsche owner without spending 50 Gs with these.

I admit to having a very expensive Motorola S7 Stereo bluetooth headset that I never use because I lost the disk for it and there’s no way to download the drivers on Motorola’s site. (Motorola is stupid on the web…)

(Maybe I should give it away, I did pay almost 200 bucks for it. What a useless piece of technology…)

Here’s Opera’s Wireless earphones that doesn’t work on bluetooth but it works on its own radio signals.

By having this simpler setup, people will be able to use it for other devices instead of having to rely on bluetooth technology. (Which sucks for long distance anyways)

Sometimes, simpler is better.
