Rants and Raves
Thanks for visiting my blog!

I have a product idea but neither the ambition nor the grist to make it happen…so this is a vague pleading to hardware companies:
I was thinking about my phone today. I leave it on vibrate when I am out of the house working but it rings and I don’t notice it. I then thought that I often also use a wireless mouse for my laptop…that’s when it hit me. I need a phone that is a bluetooth mouse…really. Here are some of my reasons:
- When it rings I’ll notice (as I usually have my hand on it).
- It would also reduce the # of devices I run around with.
- I don’t need a camera, camcorder, mp3 player or internet browser on my phone.
My thought is to make it a clamshell phone (so that all the real phone parts are inside) and make it work as a mouse only when closed:
What do you think? Is it a good idea or am I goofy?
