Sony Mouse PhoneEvery now and then, a new gadget comes along that makes you go “why didn’t I think of that?” That’s what happened when I saw this newly released product from Sony, the Mouse Phone.

It’s a fully functional computer mouse and it flips open into a VOIP phone for use with Skype, or other services (unconfirmed, the product page is written in Japanese). The wire carries the phone signal via the USB port the mouse is plugged into.

The Sony mouse phone is cool, really cool.
