Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000
September 16th, 2009 by admin
Microsoft claims they just launched the thinnest keyboard ever, the Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000. We got a chance to play with a protoype a few months ago and it was a super impressive keyboard, just the kind that you could potentially throw in your bag to use with your laptop on the go. I’m not really a fan of Bluetooth keyboards as they lose connectivity more than I care to mention, but hopefully this one will have superior connectivity performance aside from having good looks. The BMK 6000 also comes with a standalone number pad for added productivity. The number pad will also be sold alone as the Microsoft Bluetooth Number Pad. Expect to see the Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 and Bluetooth Number Pad hit stores in October and they will retail for $89.95 and $44.95 respectively.

Microsoft’s new “Financial Planner” ad wants iTunes users to know that it costs $30,000 to fill an iPod, whereas Zune Pass users only have to pay $14.99 monthly for unlimited downloads.
Plus, well, this argument has never really worked for services like Yahoo and Rhapsody in the past, so we’re not sure it’s going to work now.
