p2pnet news | product news:- Logitech has taken several pages out of Nintendo’s book, introducing a $150 cordless, re-chargeable mouse you can wave in the air and make things happen.

The wii remote-control unit also allows owners to wave at the screen, to the distress of certain nearby appliances, p2pnet posted a while back.

But, “I got a little too much into WiiSports Bowling,” said one user, quoted in wiihaveaproblem. “One wiimote plus a set of butter-fingers plus a weak strap equals one busted stereo display.”

That won’t happened when an MX Air Mouse, however. Gestures are minimal ;P

Says the Logitech blurb:
Performance

• Laser performance: On your desk, enjoy laser-precise tracking and instant response.
• Freespace™ motion sensing: In the air, use MX Air to browse and play your favorite media. The sensor transforms hand motions into natural, responsive cursor controls. Adjust volume by waving to the right or left; skip tracks with a flip of the wrist.
• Scroll panel: Experience hyper-fast scrolling at the touch of a finger - on your desk or in the air.

Control

• Easy control of PC-based entertainment: Take command of your PC-based media with intuitive wave-and-click control - an easier and more natural way to enjoy your favorite media.
• Gesture controls: Control playback and volume with hand motions. Adjust volume by waving to the right or left; skip tracks with a flip of the wrist.

Convenience

• Li-ion battery: Recharges faster, lasts longer.
• 2.4 GHz wireless: An operating range of 30 feet lets you navigate media from anywhere in the room.

Slashdot it!
