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 http://www.google.c...q=mouse+phone&meta=
First result [MikeOliver, May 18 2006]

Here's a better but much different one than described. http://vaio.sony-eu...ouses+%26+Keyboards
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]


Short name, e.g., Bob's Coffee

Destination URL. E.g., http://www.coffee.com/

Description (displayed with the short name and URL.)







       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).
MikeOliver, May 18 2006
   

       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.
phundug, May 18 2006
   

       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.
rcarty, May 18 2006
   

       It should be wireless...
BJS, May 18 2006
   

       I would argue that the fact it is the top google result would suggest it is rather widely known.
MikeOliver, May 18 2006
   

       Yeah I'm probably going to delete it.
rcarty, May 18 2006
   

       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?
computerjoe, May 28 2006
   

       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.
