THIS is very, very clever.
The
VAIO VN-CX1 is a mouse with a secret.
Not only does it work nicely alongside your
SONY laptop, but flip it open and it becomes a clamshell phone.
Obviously it's not a mobile but will work exceedingly well with Internet-based telephony like Skype.
It even allows hands-free calling and if you are using it when someone is on the blower, a light will flash to show you or it can be set to ring.
It's one of the best inventions I've seen in ages and as it works simply by USB, it's fine to use on any brand of notebook or home PC.
Out next month in black, blue and silver models, it costs £55.
