The Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 cleared the FCC hurdle! Well, at least one half of it did. The Wireless Laser Keyboard 7000 was seen proudly wearing its FCC seal of approval. The keyboard uses 2.4GHz technology and offers a 30-feet working radius, much like the Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave keyboard. Now, I have been using the Logitech keyboard for a few months now, and I’ve decided that’s the keyboard for me - it’s just that good. The Microsoft keyboard, on the other hand, comes in a different design, and also appears to be nice - but I could probably tell more if I got my hands on one.

Anyway, the Wireless Mouse 7000 should be approved soon, and you can get your Microsoft wireless system for US $149.95.

Targeting students entering the forthcoming semester, IOGear unveiled two new products for those on the move. The new 4GB Flash Wallet Drive (model GFD204B) and 3-in-1 Wireless Phaser Presentation Mouse (model GME422RW6) can be useful accessories. The Wallet Drive, just 3mm thick and smaller than a business card, is convenient to carry around. Well, okay, even a USB flash drive is convenient, but I guess you can’t beat the 3mm ‘thin’ factor here. You can backup your work/presentations or swap music. It plugs into existing USB 2.0/1.1 ports and also supports Windows ReadyBoost (when used with Windows Vista).

The 3-in-1 Phaser presentation cordless mouse is a laser pointer, track ball with optical capabilities. It works with both PCs and Macs, and communicates with a USB receiver that plugs into your computer. Offering a good 30-feet range, it provides an easy way to make computer-based presentations in the classroom. When used on a solid surface, it operates in optical mode between 800-1600 dpi. The Phaser mouse is covered with Nano Coating to prevent bacteria from surviving on the product.

The 4GB Flash Wallet Drive carries a price tag of US $69.95 while the Phaser mouse costs US $59.95. Both are now available.
