 Looking to replace your old and sticky computer mouse? You're in luck, because Microsoft announced today three new mice to tickle your mousing fancy.
The Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 may cost more than you'd expect to pay for a computer mouse at $99.95, but wait until you hear what it's capable of. It incorporates 1 GB of flash memory right into the transceiver! That way, you can free up a USB port and easily transfer your files. This rechargeable mouse also features 2.4 GHz wireless technology, 4-way scrolling, Magnifier (enlarge and edit detail), Flip 3D (flip through all open windows), Instant Viewer (instantly display your open windows), and a Bluetooth mode switch. To charge the mouse, simply snap in the magnetic connectors using the USB transreceiver. Unfortunately, it's only made for right-handers. It will ship in October, but is available for pre-order now. Check out more on the other two computer mice from Microsoft, as well as photos, after the jump.
The Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 7000 ($49.95) is an ergonomic 2.4 GHz wireless mouse that features 4-way scrolling as well as Flip 3D, Magnifier, LED battery indicator, and a 6+ months battery life. It can be comfortably worn in either hand, and is available now. 
The Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 ($49.95) is great for the traveling professional. This Bluetooth-enabled mouse features an ergonomic design, back button (navigate between folders and Web pages), LED battery indicator, scroll wheel, on/off button (to preserve battery life), and is transreceiver free since it works with a Bluetooth-enabled notebook. Shipping in October, it's available now for pre-order.

I'm liking the design. But a one gig flash drive is right around $20 now, so I'm not sure it's worth the price hike. That, and if you just want to use the drive, is the computer going to try and install your mouse every time? It's a nifty idea, but I think I'd rather have the two separate. I usually rock 4Gig+ flash drives too, so 1GB wouldn't exactly cut it for me.

Would be even more useful is it was readyboost compatible, i like the idea of a flip3d button, might make the window switching method actualy useable
