Canon has, replacing that excessive unused space with a built-in calculator in its X Mark I Mouse, announced today for folks in the US. (If you'll recall, we spent a few quality moments with this guy in Germany last year at Photokina.) The combo device provides users with both a physical ten-digit adding machine and a numeric Bluetooth 2.0 keypad, which you can use seamlessly with a variety of apps, replacing the number pad now absent on many desktop and portable keyboards. The company's camera design team helped to create the hybrid input device, which also includes a trio of mouse buttons and laser tracking. Canon also announced its X Mark I Keypad, a full-size calculator with Bluetooth support that's powered by either AAA batteries or a built-in solar panel. Both devices will be available for $60 in August and September, respectively, and will ship in both black and white.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; line-height: 1.5;"> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" mce_name="strong" mce_style="font-weight: bold;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">Gallery: Canon X Mark I Mouse Lite</span></div> <div mce_style="text-align: center;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: center;"> <img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="75" mce_src="http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/3598/20110726blackcalcmouset.jpg" src="http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/3598/20110726blackcalcmouset.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 12px; max-width: 640px;" width="75" /><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="75" mce_src="http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/8715/20110726xmarkimouseslim.jpg" src="http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/8715/20110726xmarkimouseslim.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 12px; max-width: 640px;" width="75" /><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="75" mce_src="http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/8715/20110726xmarkimouseslim.jpg" src="http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/8715/20110726xmarkimouseslim.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 12px; max-width: 640px;" width="75" /><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="75" mce_src="http://img814.imageshack.us/img814/8715/20110726xmarkimouseslim.jpg" src="http://img814.imageshack.us/img814/8715/20110726xmarkimouseslim.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 12px; max-width: 640px;" width="75" /><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="75" mce_src="http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/43/20110726whitecalckeypad.jpg" src="http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/43/20110726whitecalckeypad.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 12px; max-width: 640px;" width="75" /></div> </div> </div> </span></div>
