Another iPhone IM client

In brief: Radtech BT600 and BT100 Blueooth mice review, iPhones to be on sale for $.99, Yet another IM client for the iPhone, Summer pricing on Rex Paks announced, and MacSpeech has certified a new wireless mic for use with iListen ... We have posted a review of the Radtech BT600 and BT100 wireless mice. The BT600 is a full-size 5-button wireless mouse with scroll wheel, priced at $60 USD. The mouse is comparable to some of the other wireless mice available. We also tested the BT100, which is a much smaller mouse that fits better in small hands but does not look as elegant as the BT600. The BT100 is also $10 cheaper and is made to carry around. For another $10, you can purchase a rigid clamshell zippered case for the BT100. Both mice have 800 dpi optical tracking, which makes them very precise for most daily work.
