Daily deal – MoGo Mouse X54 for $29.99

by Scott Carmichael on

My deal for today is a personal favorite of mine. The MoGo Mouse X54 is a Bluetooth mouse with a laser sensor. What makes the Mogo Mouse different from any other Bluetooth Mouse is that is actually slides right into the Expresscard slot of your notebook. The mouse even recharges when it is “docked” in your machine.

Of course, you will need a notebook with Bluetooth and an Expresscard/54 slot, so please check the user manual of your computer before purchasing this mouse!

The MoGo Mouse X54 usually retails for around $70, but if you hurry up, you’ll be able to pick one up from Buy.com for just $29.99, with free shipping!

I’ve been using a MoGo mouse for several months, and it has become a real indispensable item in my gadget arsenal. Despite the tiny size, the mouse actually works extremely well. I’ll be posting a full review of the MoGo mouse X54 in an upcoming review.

Daily deal – Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth headset for $42

by Scott Carmichael on

My daily deal for today is for the Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth headset.

This particular headset is one of the highest rated Bluetooth products on the market, and while it may not be the sexiest, it does have stunning sound quality (for both people on the call). The microphone boom also features a noise reducing microphone which can cancel out noise from wind and other sources of distraction.

The Voyager 510 has great battery life, and the manufacturer rates it for up to 6 hours of talk time and 100 hours on standby. The headset also features “multipoint”, which allows you to connect to more than one device at the same time.

The Voyager 510 usually retails for around $60, but Amazon.com has it on sale for just $41.99. Since the item is over $25, Amazon will even ship it for free.

Ford Launches Hands-Free, In-Car Option for all Your Digital Needs

by Neil Woodburn on

So much of my travel time in an automobile is spent fiddling with the radio dial looking for some audio entertainment. Or, if a get a phone call, chatting on my cell.

As everyone knows, such activities are hardly conducive to good driving. And yet, we continue doing them. Why? Because there are very few hands-free alternatives in today’s automobile.

This is all about to change, however.

Ford has just announced that it will be installing a new system in many of its automobiles that finally solves this problem. Sync is hands-free based software that syncs with all your electronic doo-dads in a manner in which you can keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

Sync, priced as a very reasonable $395 option in the States, not only communicates with your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone, allowing you to talk hands free, but it also reads text messages to you. In addition, you can tell the onboard computer which songs (or even which genre of songs) you want played from your digital music player.

Now, if it will only drive for me as well, I just might consider buying a Ford.
