Microsoft thinks it has the answer for your USB slot shortage on your notebook - by combining a mouse with a flash memory card.

The Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 includes 1 GB of storage in its transceiver. In addition, the same USB port is able to charge the mouse as well using a magnetic charger.

M$ is the point.... as for an application...I am not seeing it, so are they saying to travel with a mouse instead of a flash drive? Good idea, bad implementation if you ask me.
