Wacom will be introducing next week a new computer input system for both PCs and Macs that combines a cordless, batteryless, scrolling mouse with a cordless, pressure-sensitive pen.
Finally, a mouse with no connecting cord, no batteries, and no rolling ball that needs to be cleaned.
The pen-and-mouse set was developed for computer users who want a better mouse, one that is cordless and with a scrolling feature, and who also want a great pen, one that is cordless, batteryless and pressure-sensitive.
The significance of the Wacom pen-and-mouse set is that it is designed as a reasonably priced multiple input tools system. With both a cordless mouse and pen available, the appropriate tool can be used for the specific task at hand -- the mouse for general navigation and the pen whenever there is a need to draw, write or add signatures.
The company plans on showing the new products on Tuesday, August 31st at Booth 601 at the Seybold Conference. The product is expected to be priced at US$99 and should be available in October.
