Logitech unveils cordless, optical mouse

Logitech introduced on Wednesday the Cordless MouseMan Optical, a mouse with no ball and no cables. The product is scheduled to ship in early April and will sell for $69.95. Switzerland-based Logitech worked with Agilent Technologies to create a proprietary optical chip that features a three-month battery life and 800dpi resolution--twice the resolution of current optical sensors--for greater accuracy on any surface. In order to sustain its battery life by conserving energy, the mouse has four modes of power consumption.
