Logitech’s apparently planning a run into the air mouse market with its MX platform. It looks to sport both gyration-based movement and a standard laser, though they’re supposedly holding off on Bluetooth in favor of RF. Expected drop date is sometime this summer.
What do guys think of air mice, anyway? I’m still madly in love with my heavily worn, four-year-old MX500—I don’t need shmancy lasers or gyroscopic sensors.

So about time :-) Hopefully they have good software to go with it to.. The gyration mouse software allow for changing the mouse cursor to large red pointer (easier to see than a laser pointer) or spotlight (ie dims page and mouse cursor act like a spotlight) which is great in presentations. Othan than that this could be a good mouse for a HTPC setup.
