Microsoft Hardware announced on Monday its new stunning designs for the LifeCam VX-5500, and the Wireless Mobile Mouse 3000 for the Middle East available in May 2009. LifeCam VX-5500 takes a more sassy approach with switchable faceplates in three colors and an innovative and collapsible design. The Wireless Mobile Mouse 3000, a notebook mouse with stunning color offerings at an affordable price, based on the design of the No. 1 best-selling notebook mouse in the US1. “Consumers today are looking for freedom of choice with their accessories to better suit their personalities, current moods, or even their personal computer or notebook,” said Armagan Demir, head of Microsoft Entertainment and Devices Division Middle East. “The LifeCam VX-5500 was designed to attach with ease to any type of PC because we know that consumers move between notebooks and desktops and back again, and they want a webcam that can move with them. The wireless mobile mouse 3000 is based on the design of one of the best selling mice, and includes stylish color offerings so consumers can pick their favorite colors.” The LifeCam VX-5500 is all about fun with an innovative new design. The VX-5500 ships with three interchangeable faceplates in blue, red and white, so users can either choose their favorite color and leave it that color or switch the color every day to match their mood. When users are ready to pack up, the entire webcam folds down flat for easy transport. With a VGA sensor for 640x480 video, 1.3MP stills, and a unidirectional, noise-canceling microphone, the LifeCam VX-5500 keeps all video communications crystal clear. With the LifeCam software, it is easier than ever for users to have a fun video call experience. One major addition to the new software is a group of more than 30 new video effects, including 3D Accessories, Facial Exaggerations and Filters. The software also includes access to Video Messages. When friends and family are not around for a live video chat or perhaps are in a distant time zone, Video Messages is the perfect solution. LifeCam users can record and send videos through an exclusive Windows Vista gadget, and any Windows Live user can get in on the fun via an online portal.
