The Sony Mouse Phone

Apple has the iPhone and Sony has the… Mouse Phone. I don’t want to call it a “telephone mouse”, because that would, to me, sound like a mouse you attach to your phone.

Instead, the VN-CX1A is a mouse that is really a telephone. You use it for your PC until you receive a call, at which moment you pick it up and use it to talk.

Where to begin? The basic idea of combining multiple functions into one is very Japanese, and rather commendable. But I somehow doubt that this item is practical. What do you do, for example, when you wish to actually use your computer while talking on the phone?

If you’d still like one, the VN-CX1A is available via Sony Style Japan for 7980 Yen (49.18 Euro) and you get to pick from three colors.
