SEOUL, Aug. 24, 2011 –- LG Electronics (LG) will be opening a new era for scanners at this year’s IFA with the LSM-100, the mouse with a built-in scanner. Incorporating technology specifically developed for the new device, the LSM-100 offers an array of unique functions that blend surprising innovation and user convenience.

Operating the LSM-100’s scanning function is far more convenient than on conventional scanners. While holding the Smart Scan button on the left side of the mouse, the user simply swipes the mouse over the material to be scanned. The scanned image can then be saved in a variety of file types -– PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PDF, XLS and DOC –- or dragged and dropped into the desired application.

I'm not really amazed of this new LG's mouse innovation, anyway it do reminds me of the 007 thingy that was used heavily by both the KGB & CIA operatives during cold war - the portable rolling film scanner!

Thanks for the info Ceyfer. I didn't see anything about pricing, but I suspect it will a fair bit more expensive than your average mouse. I have a perfectly good HP scanner and will probably stick with it.

Seen it before. Believe me, after 8 hours of working retail, I feel like singing it.

Useful but I guess it is definitely not ergonomic.
Unless they figure it out how to maintain the normal size of the mouse without making it more bulky, I wouldn't even think about it.

Maybe this is not the place to mention the Cyborg R.A.T 9 if it is anything to go on then the price will be too high.. yep i was one of those nuts that bought a R.A.T ... it does look stealthy and i find it great to use... now if it could only scan and make coffee it would be perfect...........

I've got the RAT7, love it myself.

Have to agree with the RAT as it can be changed so easily and been wireless it's a dream, although i read one or two that didn't like it.. but it has proved a great success for me..
