Say goodbye to laser?

Microsoft has teased us all with the below image, which is linked to an announcement on the 9th of September:




Say goodbye to laser? The only 2 consumer products I can think of that use laser are CD/DVD drives and gaming mice. I really doubt MS have come up with an alternative to data storage, so the speculation is a mouse that uses a blue LED. This, as far as I know, is the first of it's kind, as every other optical mouse before is either red or laser.

Allegedly, amazon.de has "leaked" the images of the product:



I'm actually up for trying this kind of thing out. But, if the image above is anything to go by, it's ergonomic for right handed people. Damn you MS :( PLEASE PLEASE make a lefty/neutral version.

9th of September tells all...
