For those of you who prefer a mouse to a touchpad, but your laptop lacks bluetooth, Logitech 550 Nano cordless laser mouse featuring the Clip-and-Go dock may be for you.

Logitech claims up to 18 months of battery life, making the V550 the only Logitech cordless laser mouse currently offering this extended level of use. The button directly below the scroll wheel allows you to switch between applications with free software you can download at http://www.logitech.com/downloads.
The V550 Nano is offered in two colors – gray with silver accents and silver with cool-blue accents. Also included are two Clip-and-Go docks – one silver, one black.
System Requirements for the PC are Windows XP or Windows Vista and an open USB port. For the Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later and a free USB port.
The new Logitech mouse is compatible with both PC and Mac computers and is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in late August. The suggested retail price in the U.S. is $59.99.
