The naming of the Adesso bluetooth enabled mouse, iMouse S100, is rather dubious but cool given that Adesso isn’t the famous company named after the fruit and has a CEO with the first name of “Steve” - I think it’s awesome. But it looks to be a rather capable bluetooth enabled mouse that doesn’t seem to cramp up your hand like the Magic Mouse does since that mouse is just so low-profile. I like my mice to fit into my hand, slightly cupped.

The Adesso Bluetooth mini optical scroll mouse allows you break away from your notebook’s touch pad and experience reliable, receiver-free wireless connection with a range distance of 30 feet.

• Transceiver-free wireless connection to a Bluetooth-enabled PC
• On/Off button to extend battery life
• Auto-sleep function
• Optical technology
• 1000DPI for dynamic resolution

Ideal for the laptop user that wants to carry only a mouse, a laptop and no dongle. Just make sure your laptop or PC is bluetooth enabled first. Retails for about $30.

Lenovo announced the industry’s first hybrid PC for consumers, the IdeaPad U1 hybrid notebook, a groundbreaking concept and new genre in PC form factors. The IdeaPad U1′s unique design is engineered to provide consumers with two PCs in one device – each with its own processor and operating system – that work together and independently as either a clamshell laptop or a multitouch slate tablet.

The IdeaPad U1′s fashionable scarlet red exterior has a footprint just smaller than a piece of paper and is paired with an equally impressive 3.8 pound thin and light design. With its unique detach-and-converge form factor, users can easily remove the screen to instantly switch from clamshell mode into a multitouch slate tablet. When the IdeaPad U1 is in its traditional clamshell form, the system boasts an 11.6-inch HD LED screen and runs Windows 7. When the 1.6 pound, multitouch screen is removed, it becomes an independent slate tablet with a powerful ARM processor, running Lenovo’s customized Skylight operating system.

Leveraging the benefits of both CPU, the two devices can synchronize to work as one with the ability to share battery power, 3G wireless, data and documents. In this way, the base laptop system can serve as a hub and docking station and the slate tablet as a mobile device. The two PCs have been engineered to work together and independently through Lenovo’s Hybrid Switch technology that enables seamless toggling between the two processors. For instance, users can surf the Web in laptop mode and then continue from the same point without interruption if they detach to tablet mode.

The IdeaPad U1′s laptop and tablet modes each support more than five hours of 3G Web browsing and 60 hours of 3G standby. In addition, the U1 comes with integrated video camera and two stereo speakers with integrated microphone with echo cancellation make this the ideal PC for users who need flexibility but do not want to compromise features or functionality.

The Lenovo IdeaPad U1 hybrid notebook will be available June 1, 2010 with an estimated retail price of for under $1000.
