This new gadget from Asus integrates between a USB flash drive and a mouse, yes a MOUSE. Though i’m doubtful it will fit ergonomically the palm of your hand, the Asus MS71 features a wireless mouse with left & right buttons and a scroll wheel in between. In addition, it serves as a flash drive to store uncertain amount of files to carry on the go. No word on price or availability but if you’re really running out of place in your lappy bag, consider having one.

Yet another Eee PC clone, this time it’s the GeCube Genie that features a 7″ screen, 2GB storage size and a Linux based system. The interesting twist in this one is the detached display that can be separated from its water proof keyboard to an independent unit with a trackpad on the back side. Too bad it doesn’t support a touchscreen function to make our life easier, still it can be used as a digital image frame or a tablet device without the touch. If you want to grab one of these, it should be around $450.
