For those who like to work on their notebooks using a laser mouse instead of the trackpad but keep on leaving their mouse behind, Logitech is making sure that it will never happen again with its new V550 Nano laser mouse. To make this possible, said mouse will come with its own clip-and-go dock for, for clipping your mouse onto your notebook. In fact, the only time that you’d probably forget about the V550 Nano mouse is when you clipped it onto your laptops.

The V550 Nano laser mouse features a Plug-and-Forget receiver which stays in a USB port and sits nearly flush against the side of your laptop. It doesn’t obtrude nor is it a hindrance when you stow your laptop. This laser mouse also boasts of an extended 18 hours of battery life, ensuring that you won’t run out of power during long hours of continued use. Best part is, the V550 Nano mouse automatically shuts off when it’s docked or when the receiver is stored inside the mouse dock.

Comfortable headsets are great when you can find them. If they are cordless it’s even better. Now add the ability to listen to your iPod wirelessly for up to 10 hours straight. If that is not enough – what if you and three other people could share the wireless connection? Have I peaked your interest yet?

Kleer (good name when talking about headsets) and DigiFi have joined their resources to give us a cordless headset with CD quality sound known as Opera. A bit rich at $98 but an interesting concept I must say.

Opera is not your ordinary headset. It wraps from behind your head and up over your ears. Earbuds make this headset unobtrusive and as far as looks are concerned – streamlined comes to mind.

In this day and age of high powered mobile phones and web based communication applications, we couldn’t help but wonder if there is still a need for a home phone. The Vtech people must have the same thought on their mind when they were conceptualizing the IS6110 cordless phone that’s why they decided to include an Instant Messaging function.

Well, it looks like Vtech might have caught onto something new. For one, their IS6110 cordless phone is the world’s first cordless phone with built-in IM features with support for MSN Messenger, Windows Live Messenger and AOL Instant Messenger. And for that, it certainly deserves some accolades. But if you think that IM is all there is in the IS6110, think again as it is packed with some nifty features too.

Most Logitech products work for either Macs of PCs, but none until now will look as nice with your shiny white Mac. The Logitech Cordless Desktop S530 is a $70 right-handed mouse and keyboard combo with tons of media buttons and one touch commands.
