Logitech release Tablet Mouse for Android 3.1+ Have an Android tablet that you’d like to turn into a “laptop”? We’ve got some great news for you. Logitech has just released a wireless mouse designed just for use with Android tablets. The mouse works on Bluetooth instead of taking up the precious USB slot on your tablet, and can pair up with any Android tablet running Android 3.1 and above.

Other than that, it’s pretty much the same as a regular mouse, just that if you’re planning to use it on a desktop PC, you’ll need a Bluetooth receiver of your own since it doesn’t come with one. With the Logitech Tablet Mouse, you’ll be able to use your tablet from a distance, which makes it perfect for a tablet that’s charging in a dock or in some sort of stand – there’s no need to use uncomfortable gestures that might tip the tablets over.

The Logitech Tablet Mouse is available now for $49.99 and can be purchased from Logitech’s website.

From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.
