Gadget or Gimmick?

[V_R]

You've got to hand it to them, Sony's VAIO VN-CX1 is incredibly clever.
Its a laptop mouse that you can use as a clamshell VOIP phone!

The VAIO VN-CX1 functions just like any optical mouse, but offers an 800dpi resolution for greater accuracy. As a VoIP phone, LED on the surface lights up to inform the user if a call is coming in. If you prefer, you can also set up the VAIO VN-CX1 to ring. While taking a call, the scroll wheel is used for volume control and mute functions.

I think its a great idea and saves you carrying around loads of devices to plug into your laptop.

I ain't sure, really, bit of each I suppose.

Doesn't really appeal to me though, I'd rather have a seperate phone.

its probably an average mouse and an average phone

id rather just have a good mouse + a good phone
