The device itself is fairly simple: a small flexible circuit board inside a body that is composed of plastic and can be blown up manually. When not in use, it can be de-flated and folded into a compact size or slid between the screen and keyboard of your laptop when it's closed.

Not to mention there's nothing hotter then a geek blowing up his mouse - hopefully it comes with a blow up bat so that you can beat away all the groupies you'll attract.

This is a little silly, but having to carry a mouse IS annoying. I've got a small, light laptop, and I often just want to grab it and go, without taking chargers or any of the other stuff VonSkippy mentions (seriously, do you carry all that with your laptop?) If I could just tuck this into my laptop -- and if it worked reasonably well -- I'd consider it.
