The Gigabyte Aivia Xenon is claimed to be the world’s first dual mode touchpad mouse. It means that you can use the Aivia Xenon as a mouse or a touchpad. This wireless mouse is equipped with the Gigabyte free-scrolling technology, that enables you to browse the file and webpage more effortlessly. The Aivia Xenon also supports a 1000DPI resolution, multitouch gestures and a 10-meter working distance. Each purchase comes bundled with an exclusive Aivia Painter software. [Gigabyte]

When you first lay your eyes on the Gigabyte Aivia Xenon, chances are, you would think that this might be some sort of weird looking remote control. Well, sad to break the news to you, but this is actually a mouse. Yes sir, the Gigabyte Aivia Xenon is the first dual mode touchpad mouse in the world from the company, where it boasts of Gigabyte Free Scrolling technology in addition to intuitional multi-touch gestures, a working distance of 10 meters and will come bundled with an exclusive Aivia Painter software.

I say, this must be one of the first few mice I have ever seen that comes with its own power button that you can actually press to turn it on or off. A Mode button ensures you can make the switch from mouse mode to touchpad mode, and vice versa. A comforting blue light will let you know that it is in mouse mode, while a purple light points toward it being in touchpad mode.

Powered by a couple of AAA batteries, this is not a high end gaming mouse with just 1000DPI resolution, but at least it will turn heads whenever you whip it out from your bag.

It isn’t hard to get an Android 4.0 phone under $200 if you’re willing to sign your life away with a contract. Getting one that’s worthwhile at that same figure contract-free, however, requires some jumping through hoops. MediaTek must be an acrobat, as it just released the MT6577, a chip design for the most entry level of smartphones. The part’s frugal focus doesn’t keep it from stuffing in a dual-core, 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, a PowerVR SGX series 5 for graphics and an HSPA modem for 3G. Those specifications would only have been cutting-edge in 2011, but they’re very speedy for a starter device in 2012 — fast enough to drive Google’s OS on a 720p screen while supporting 1080p video. The MT6577 is a drop-in replacement for its MT6575 ancestor, and it’s accordingly going to be used very quickly by “leading global customers” this summer. Knowing MediaTek’s most recent clients, that could soon lead to a sea of very affordable phones from Gigabyte, ZTE and others that have no problems eating an Ice Cream Sandwich.
