A number of laptops that have been appearing in the market in the last few months have included Bluetooth by default. To take advantage of this fact, and to make your life just a little bit wire-free, Microsoft recently unveiled the Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000. Featuring the company’s Comfort Curve layout, the number pad is split from the main keyboard making it easy to carry just the keyboard along with you when you travel, for example.

Slated for an October 2009 release, the Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 and Number Pad will retail for US $89.95 and $44.95 respectively, and come with a worldwide 3-year limited warranty. A Bluetooth transceiver is not included as far as we know, because, well, one of the requirements is that your laptop should already have integrated Bluetooth. Two AAA batteries for the keyboard and one AAA battery for the number pad are included.

Features and benefits:

• Ultrathin, stylish design looks great at home or on the go.
• Comfort Curve keyboard design encourages natural wrist posture with a slight 6-degree curve and is easy to use.
• Portable Bluetooth Number Pad included for added productivity and comes with a carrying case for added portability. The Bluetooth Number Pad is also available in a stand-alone version.
• Bluetooth wireless frees up USB ports by easily connecting to any computer enabled with Bluetooth, no transceiver needed.
• Up to 10 months of battery life with an on/off switch that conserves battery life.
• Two-color battery life indicator warns people when it is time to replace the batteries.
