Microsoft introduces the portable Arc Touch Mouse

Today, Microsoft issued a press release explaining its latest product, the Arc Touch Mouse. One of the main selling points of the Arc Touch Mouse is its ability to neatly fold away, fit securely in a laptop bag, and provide a comfortable user experience. When using the mouse, users are able to pop it up allowing for a curved surface, and then with a simple push, the mouse goes flat and is easy to stow away.

In addition, the mouse features a touch strip which is used predominantly for scrolling slow or fast — depending on your finger speed. The Arc Touch Mouse contains three programmable buttons, but the default functions are page up, page down and the middle click area. The mouse is currently available for pre-order from Amazon.com, BestBuy.com and Buy.com for $69.95 and it will start shipping in December in time for the holiday season. Expect the mouse to launch globally in January 2011 for a similar price point.
