Logitech’s M555b is a Bluetooth enabled mouse for notebook users; it features 5 buttons, a 1000 DPI laser sensor, an LED low-battery indicator and hyper-fast, single-spin scrolling.

Okay, so a calculator isn’t exactly cutting edge tech–but we’re liking Monroe’s 8125 for its blend of clean lines, 30% smaller packaging and chunky keys; think of it as porn for accountants.

An E-620 packed into a small, retro package, Olympus’ E-P1 is the “digital PEN” in homage to similarly styled 50s cameras; specs: 12.3 MP, 720p recording, 3″ screen and HDMI out.

Essentially the Omnia Pro sans keyboard, Samsung’s Jet packs a blazing fast 800 Mhz processor, a 3.1″ AMOLED screen, 5 MP camera, Samsung’s 3D Cube UI, Wi-Fi and 2GB storage.

Nokia’s slim E71 is barely out the door but the E72 is already official: this upgraded version gets a 5 MP camera, optical navigation pad, 3.5 mm headphone jack and 10.2 Mbps HSDPA.

Designed with the seeing-impaired in mind, Zhenwei You’s B-Touch phone concept turns the touchscreen into a dynamic braille pad, includes voice feedback and uses image recognition.

Neither a speaker nor a headphone, Adam Miller’s Klang Ultrasonic Transmitter concept avoids disturbing others by precisely aiming low-level ultrasound waves at your ears.

Much of its tech is still in the future, but we like the Mobile Script; this solar-powered concept phone sports two screens, one of which unfolds and can stiffen when a voltage is applied.

It’s not coming to the States anytime soon, but Samsung’s Solar Guru could be ideal for hikers; its entire back is a solar panel, charging 5-10 minutes for every hour of charging.
