    I hate adverstising like this. Expectations are built too high with the inevitable "That's it??" when the product is actually announced.





    Kensington ...please prove me wrong.

    That's gonna be nothing but a mouse with two buttons and a scroll wheel. What, supposedly, mac users are missing, but most of the people actually watching those ads, have had a mice like that for years.

    in the top right corner:



    'still a little unclear?



    We'll reveal more in

    future MacWorld ads

    coming this summer.'







    looks like they're targeting PC users, don't they?

    I expect AV donglie thingys. (since they stole our audio ins....)



    A mouse seems obvious, which is why I doubt that will be it. (but hey, guessing is what's it's all about)

    Kensington also makes security products, including cable tie-downs.



    First thing I thought of on reading these posts was "Yeah, if my laptop was stolen, I'd certainly be missing something..."

    Could they be coming out with a whole line of really cool bluetooth peripherals?

    what I am missing is a bluetooth mouse

    a bluetooth printer adapter

    a bluetooth scanner adapter.



    I want no wires on my powerbook

    hmmmm wireless USB cords? plug one into the computer, the other into the device... seems plausible... but BT would just make more sense



    why does the BT symbol have a "k" in it?

    God I hate pages that fill the screen. There's got to be a way to disable that one JavaScript feature.

    dude, they say "missing something" and then say "kensington has you covered". also, in background there is a majorly blurred/iced image that has flesh tone colors. Clothes?



    Maybe they will be coming out with somekind of garment, clothes... iSocks? a Bluetooth controlled iBrator (with force feedback of course)? an iWatch?

    Why not? They make them to replace serial cables!



    BrainBoxes



    Looks like I need one of these and a new PB so I can configure all of these switches without dangling a cable all over the office!

    The ad is now in print too. Just saw it on the back cover of the new MacWorld mag (a skinny, boring issue by the way...)
