Taiwanese IT and Consumer Electronics brand Genius released the Genius Navigator 380, the latest VoIP Mouse from its stable. A mouse with a difference, the Genius Navigator 380 has an impressive and modish look. This Genius VoIP mouse exhibits an integration of mouse and Internet phone functions, and its software can support up to six Instant Messaging clients including Skype, MSN, Yahoo, GoogleTalk, QQ and AIM. These Instant Messengers can be combined into one window. Navigator 380 has seven buttons for the phone functions — Phone on/off, List up/down, Volume up/down, and OK for call within the IM window. Product features include one in which the LED on the mouse will blink to tell users that their friend just gave them a call through Instant Messenger. The ringing will also alert them for the incoming phone call if the PC speaker is on. Users can pick up the mouse, open it up like a clamshell mobile phone and talk. “With the unveiling of this futuristic product, Genius Navigator 380, I hope Genius, will go a long way to mark an era of innovative products and will accentuate particularly on nextgen products in future also,” said Sandeep Ramani, Country Manager, KYE Systems (India) Corp., which owns Genius. The US$ 353 million Taipei based company launched Genius in 1985. KYE has three manufacturing units at Dongguan, China and the fourth plant is under construction.
