Much of personal computing is about ``can you top this?'' development, so a mention a few weeks ago about a rechargeable wireless optical mouse brought in another rechargeable, wireless mouse.
The difference is, this one's airborne.
Meaning, like all optical mice, it doesn't need a desktop mouse pad. But it also doesn't need a desk.
The $79.95 Ultra Cordless Optical Mouse from Gyration, Inc., of Saratoga, Calif., uses gyroscopic sensors to control the cursor movement as you move your wrist, arm, whatever through the air.
And, says the specs, it will do it from 25 feet away. Could be -- the review unit was only tested from 10 feet, because farther than that, I couldn't see the cursor anyway.
