MoGo Media Mouse X54 FAMILY ADOPTS PHILIPS' TWIN-EYE LASER SENSORS FOR UNSURPASSED ACCURACY, SUPERIOR TRACKING
NATICK, MA., September 05, 2007 — Newton Peripherals, the developer of the revolutionary MoGo™ family of products, today announced that the MoGo Media Mouse X54™ and X54 Pro™ are now equipped with Philips Laser Sensors advanced twin-eye laser technology, giving the MoGo Mouse superior tracking accuracy across the widest range of surfaces.
The incorporation of Philips twin-eye laser sensor into the MoGo Media Mouse X54 and X54 Pro is consistent with the MoGo philosophy of delivering products to the market that make mobile computing easier and more productive. The MoGo Media Mouse X54 is a Bluetooth-enabled two-in-one wireless mouse and media remote which brings wireless convenience into homes and offices everywhere. The MoGo Presenter Mouse X54 is the ultimate wireless interface device – a mouse and presenter together in a slick, compact ExpressCard/54 form factor. With the X54 Pro, users no longer need to carry a separate computer mouse and multimedia presenter, reducing the number of devices they need on the road. Embedded Bluetooth technology and convenient storage and charging make MoGo Media Mouse X54 and X54 Pro a “must have” for users of all types.
“When you are producing an ultra-thin wireless mouse like the MoGo X54, you need a laser sensor that’s both exceptionally small and extremely low power consuming,” commented Ralph Gudde, Director Marketing & Sales at Philips Laser Sensors. “We are delighted that Newton Peripherals has recognized these qualities in our twin-eye laser sensors, as well as the fact that the twin-eye laser sensor provides them with a highly integrated single-component solution.” Gudde noted that Philips twin-eye laser sensors are the only laser sensors which meet Class 1M eye safety requirements due to an integrated, smart protection system to ensure laser safety.
“We studied the market extensively, before choosing Philips,” said Matthew Westover, Newton Peripherals’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Philips laser sensors deliver superior value, and can be incorporated in a reduced form factor. Both points were of critical importance to us, resulting in products which advance mobile computing and deliver greater functionality to consumers in our target markets.”
Both the MoGo Media Mouse X54 and X54 Pro retail for US$79.95, and will available through the company’s online partners. More information is available at http://www.newtonperipherals.com/mogo_mouseX54.html. For more information on Philips Laser Sensors, visit http://www.philips.com/lasersensors.
