The device offers 800-dpi resolution, twice the accuracy of standard mice, a USB cable for charging its battery, and an on/off switch for conserving battery life. IOGEAR's Bluetooth headset allows consumers hands free use of Bluetooth 1.1 compatible cell phones. The product comes with an ear hook and volume control for comfortable use and secure wearing. The companys says that users can "talk for hours" with a built-in rechargeable battery.
