New Mouse From HP To Use Wi-Fi

                                             

                                                         To be priced around Rs 2,400.

Wi-Fi wins over Bluetooth is many ways. Thankfully, no manufacturer I can recall has been daft enough to implement it in a mouse or a keyboard. However, HP has decided to change that with its new Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse (quite a mouthful name).

Any wireless mouse worth its salt ships with a receiver in the form of a dongle. HP's Wi-Fi mouse incredulously does not have any receiver of its own. That means, unless you want to use it with a Wi-Fi ready laptop, this mouse is of no worth to you. On the other hand, laptop users will appreciate the fact that this mouse frees up a USB port. The rodent has five programmable buttons and a four-way scroll for better navigation. Interestingly, the gadget offers a degree of control over its laser sensor, allowing it to adapt to the different surfaces. HP claims a battery of life up to nine months, which sounds impressive.

Priced at $50 (Rs 2,400 approx), the Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse is currently available in the USA. Hopefully, it won't be too long before it hits the Indian market.

While talking about high-end Android phones, we often tend to miss out on the Dell Venue. Although the phone has been in the market for a while now, it has failed to create a stir in a way that phones from Samsung or HTC manage to do. I think it may have something to do with the high launch price. However, now that the price has stabilized, it deserves to be taken a look at.

Design And BuildIf you have only seen the Venue in photographs, you will know that it is an attractive looking device. In reality, it appears even better. It sports a premium look and feel to it, which goes beyond whatever I've seen from either Samsung as well as HTC. The metal sides feel good to hold and although the phone is a bit heavy, it's not excessively so. The weight and build quality give the feeling of a solid device that is worth the price tag.

On the right side, you will find the volume control button and camera shutter button. On the opposite side is a convenient Silent mode switch like the one on the iPhone. On the top is a 3.5 mm headphone jack and on its right is a power button. Right-handed users may find the latter's location inconvenient. It's also pretty small and hard to press. On Androids, it also works as the lock switch, so you have to press it regularly. This ends up being bothersome. On the bottom are located the loudspeaker grille, microphone, and micro-USB port.

On the back, you will find an 8 megapixel camera lens and single LED flash. The former is positioned such that you often end up covering it with your finger while shooting. Below the battery cover is a microSD card slot; thankfully, you don't have to remove the battery.
