For some, Bluetooth calls to mind only wireless headsets and earbuds. But the Bluetooth Special Interest Group's showcase on Thursday would have proved them wrong. The event at the San Jose Marriott demonstrated how companies are making use of the short-range wireless networking standard.
Although it looks a little like an Ethernet card, this is a tiny Bluetooth mouse. Dubbed the MoGo, this portable mouse by Newton Peripherals, has a collapsible arm so it can lie flat for storage and charging.
The MoGo Mouse collapses and charges when inserted into a PC card slot (inset).
