Here’s one novelty gadget you shouldn’t miss, even if it’ll cost you twenty-two bucks. Sure, you can get a Logitech Laser Mouse for the same price, but wouldn’t you rather have a mouse that flips open into a Skype phone, complete with alphanumeric keys and an LCD screen? I have a feeling this is going to be an industry-calibre computer accessory.

Here are the specs from Chinavasion:

• 128×64 pixel LCD screen with backlight
• Only English supported
• Connect with USB to your computer
• 1000 DPI optical sensor
• Crystal clear audio with 16bit 48 KHz sampling rate.
• Also compatible with Internercalls, SparVoip, NetAppel, poivY,
• VoipDiscount, VoipCheap and WebCallDirect

Here’s a red one with a sliding cover, this time.
