Hasta La Gadget!

Gigabyte’s ECO600 wireless laser mouse — which was introduced last month — just landed at the FCC, which means it and its tiny 2.4GHz adapter should be in the hands of consumers very soon. As far as mice go, the ECO600 is actually pretty interesting — two buttons on top allow you to quickly cycle between resolutions of 800, 1200, and 1600 DPI for either more accuracy or better battery life which, the company claims, is up to a year on a single pair of (generously included) AAs. That’s not quite as long as Logitech’s M515, which requires you swap the cells biennially, but it’s still nothing to scoff at. If you’re curious about what the guts of this long-lasting pointing device look like, check out the gallery below.

There’s been rumors of a Google-fied mobile payment system for some time, and now it looks like the Mountain View crew is teaming up with Sprint to finally make it happen. Last month, we heard that the Now Network would bring NFC payments to its customers this year, and Bloomberg reports that the partnership and payment system will make its debut on May 26th. Apparently, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington D.C. are the first cities getting the service, which is a much broader initial footprint than its Isis mobile payment competition. The anonymous sources also say that Verifone and Vivotech are providing the hardware and software that will let you replace your credit card with a Nexus S — because you always wanted to replace your credit card with your Nexus S.

Update: According to All things D, the payment system will be put through its paces by none other than El Goog’s Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt at the D9: All Things Digital conference next week — where we’ll be on hand to peep the contactless payment presentation in person.
