Update: The mystery behind Microsoft Hardware's "Say Goodbye to Laser" teaser appears to have been solved, in record time.
Readers of sites including http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/27/microsofts-new-blue-track-mouse-spotted and http://gizmodo.com/5042360/microsoft-say-goodbye-to-laser have uncovered references to and photos of a new Microsoft "Blue Track" mouse on sites including the http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/images/B001DC9T92/sr=8-13/qid=1219830648/ref=dp_otherviews_0?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&img=0&qid=1219830648&sr=8-13 and the http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yougame.it%2FMS_Explorer_Mini_Mouse-7048.html&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=it&tl=en. Among other things, the logo on the front matches the image at the end of
Microsoft's teaser animation.
Microsoft Hardware, the unit that makes the company's mice and keyboards, has scheduled a Sept. 9 event in Seattle to unveil its latest product lineup. Today it launched an animation teasing a new product, with the tag line, "Say Goodbye to Laser."
The obvious guess is that it's a new mouse technology, maybe replacing the internal lasers currently used to determine the relative position of mice. But it could be something else entirely. Microsoft isn't offering any details. Does the shape of the logo provide any clues? I'm doing a little digging, and I'll update this post if I turn anything up.
