IOGEAR Launches the First Mouse with a Memory~ Announces the industry’s first miniature mouse equipped with 32MB of flash memory [08-05-2003]


IOGEAR has eliminated the hassles of touchpads, cumbersome mice and bulky external hard drives with the launch of Memory Mouse, a mini mouse capable of storing files of up to 32MB. The tiny peripheral is a great tool for mobile travelers who don’t want to lug around bulky laptops and have limited space to work. By storing PowerPoint presentations, MP3s, photos and other files, Memory Mouse enables users to transfer data onto any PC or Mac computer at any location by simply plugging the device into a USB port. With 800 dpi resolution, Memory Mouse offers twice the accuracy of standard mice, allowing greater precision for graphic design or detailed-oriented projects. The high resolution also requires less wrist movement to move the cursor, an advantage for travelers working on airline tray tables or in other confined areas. Memory Mouse features a retractable cable to avoid tangled wires, making it simple to store. IOGEAR’s tool works on any surface and offers an ergonomically contoured design for comfortable use. Memory Mouse is priced at $49.95 (MSRP) and is available immediately from all major catalog resellers, online resellers and selected retail outlets. “IOGEAR’s latest device is a great example of how mice have migrated from a utility peripheral to a more multi-purpose and feature-rich tool,” said Miranda Su, vice president of sales and marketing at IOGEAR, Inc. “Memory Mouse is a great product for mobile workers looking to reduce their heavy load and simplify data transfers. The mouse is much sturdier than CD-ROMs or floppy disks, making it less of a risk to break or get scratched in a bag or pocket.” Memory Mouse supports Windows 98, 98SE, 2000, ME, XP and Mac OS X or greater. The product is USB ready, Plug-n-Play and hot pluggable. It comes equipped with a carrying case and IOGEAR’s three-year limited warranty.
