Deluo's Mouse GPS Is Just That

Deluo MouseGPS

How do you get publicity in the already crowded GPS market? Start sticking GPS receivers in unexpected places, of course! Deluo has come out with a mouse that has a built-in GPS receiver. Brilliant idea you say? Well, we're not so sure...

Despite being billed as "state of the art", the Mouse-GPS uses a cheaper 16-channel receiver instead of the industry standard 20-channel SiRF chipset. It has retractable USB cable and optical scrolling, which is nice. Still, I can't help wondering about the basic design: is it really a good idea to put a GPS receiver where the antenna will be covered by your hand when using the mouse?

Looks like this mouse sells for $99 standalone, or $130 with Microsoft's Street and Trips program. More info available on Deluo's product page.
