Canon Announces a Calculator Enabled Bluetooth Mouse – We Are Serious!

By

Is today April Fool’s Day? Canon has issued a press release for a new product called the Canon X Mark I Mouse Lite. It is basically a mouse, calculator and keypad all in one device. Why does this press release appear to be a joke to us? Well, doesn’t every computer in the world already have a calculator application built-in and available for free? Isn’t this a bit redundant? This mouse also looks like it won’t be too comfortable and certainly won’t win any awards for ergonomics. The Canon X Mark I Mouse Lite will have an estimated selling price of $59.99 and is expected to become available in August. For $60 that puts it up there even if it does use Bluetooth.
