- Filed under: PeripheralsYes, it's yet another mouse /VoIP phone combo unit, this one coming from Taiwan-based Genius. As with those other identity-conflicted devices, the Genius Navigator 880 will handle mousing and phoning duties equally well, although if you think its name suggests that it'll also do GPS navigation, you'll be sorely disappointed. Designed primarily for use with laptops, the mouse end of the equation packs a decent 1200 dpi resolution, while the VoIP side of things boasts seven dedicated phone buttons when flipped open, as well as the all important blinkin' light to let you know when a call is coming in. Both options will leave you tied to your laptop, however, as this one's only available in a corded option. |

- Despite the occasional instance of spontaneous combustion, it looks like laptop sales are up 35% this year, while desktop sales are down 5%. Part of the spike can be attributed to higher quality laptop builds and lower prices, but laptop makers are also increasingly targeting people's vanity, as laptops become as much fashion accessory as productivity tool. Increased 3G deployment and the push to integrate 3G networking gear is also making laptops more attractive as true mobility gets easier, making an already flexible platform that much more useful. The traditional power & performance gap between the platforms continues to shrink, and laptops now have plenty of power for most applications. Hardware vendors are thrilled with the shift, since a consumer replaces a laptop on average every three years, compared to every five for a PC. |
