Its ergonomics may leave a bit to be desired, but the SliMouse Slim-Pad does boast at least one somewhat notable feature — namely, a “sensor touch-scroll” that replaces the tried and true scroll wheel. That, the company says, will allow for “greater precision and ease of control,” although we’re guessing that control may get somewhat less easy if you use the mouse for protracted periods of time. While other details on the mouse are scarce at the moment, it will apparently come in both wired and wireless versions, with the former able to store its wire on inside when its not in use. There’s also no word on price, and it seems the company has yet to make its mind up about a release date.

More E-Book News, this one a prototype from Seiko Epson, makers of the cool E-ink watch. The device’s form factor is at least as thin as Sony’s Reader, but it has a 1200×1600 display. Maybe too sharp, on a 6.7-inch screen. (230 DPI vs 160 on the Sony.) I’d take the reader’s store app and complete list of publishers over an eye-ball straining screen res any day.
