The mouse phone

An interesting new patent has been filed which rather innovatively embeds a computer mouse function inside a cellphone, according to Cellular News.

"This would enable a person using a laptop computer when traveling to switch their mobile phone into acting as a standard optical mouse - finally getting rid of the need for the touchpad on laptops that many find difficult to use."

The patent reference is: US 2005/0007343 A1
