My desk is always cluttered, and I can never find anything. Sometimes even my telephone is buried under a mound of miscellaneous items.
That's why its great having the Mouse Phone! I never misplace it because it seems it's always in my hand. Complete with speaker and microphone on the underside,
I can make phone calls using a dialing program installed in my PC.
The best part is telephone calls no longer disturb my work, as I can continue navigating my mouse on my cheek as I converse with others.
Try Searching Google

Here's a better but much different one than described.

Sony JUST released a mouse phone. It makes a lot of sense to make electronics like this with multiple functions to cut down on waste. [rcarty, May 18 2006]

Hello, hello? What's that scritchy sound? |
|
| |
Oh, just navigating on my cheek while I talk to you. Haven't shaved in a few days. |
|
| |
Excellent. But make sure that answering the phone disables the mouse, or you'll do all sorts of annoying things as you talk. |
|
| |
This might be a bit annoying if you want to work on the computer as you talk, though. |

[marked–for-deletion] Widely known to exist (See link). |
|

I'd call it baked, but not "widely known". I've never come across one in my life, and wouldn't if I didn't think to Google for it. |
|
| |
Didn't google for it, you're right. Just fired it out, without searching. There are some minor differences between this and the existing mouse phones. To echo [phundug], I'd never heard tell of one before, but am not very surprised they already exist. |
|
| |
I would argue that the fact it is the top google result would suggest it is rather widely known. |
|
| |
Yeah I'm probably going to delete it. |
|
| |
Google result or not, I'd never heard of such a thing! I'm good with it staying. |
|
| |
I'd bloody love it. Audio as a tracker? |
|
| |
Would seem to damper multi-tasking. As noted previous, mousing and teleconversation seem somewhat too disparate to be conjoined into one mousappliancicle. |
|

I reckon this must get invented and accepted as the norm; you onl have to watch "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home", to see 23rd Century Scottie talking to the computer this way. |
