Samsung unveiled the world's first wearable and virtual input device called ``Scurry.'' The company developed the product last October but has been keeping the product on the shelf due to difficulties in commercializing it. Simply put, Scurry is a next-generation glove-like, wearable mouse that allows a user to punch in letters without a keyboard, scroll up and down and control a cursor. When mass production is realized, Scurry will be manufactured in two types _ a glove-type and ring-type. The virtual input device transmits the command signal to the computer by sensing the changes in the movement and angles of the fingers.

Microsoft would turn to IBM for microchip technology that it will use in the next version of its popular video game console, the Xbox. Microsoft used a chip from the Intel in the first version of its Xbox, which was released in 2000. IBM's PowerPC chips consume less power and run cooler than other chips. Intel had wrestled away the design win for Xbox from AMD at the last minute, and this will probably be quite a surprise to Santa Clara this morning that the next generation from their ally in system design, Microsoft, is going to their rival.

IBM has licensed microprocessor technology to other companies and makes chips for Apple and for the Nintendo gaming console, among others, in its factories. IBM opened a new semiconductor plant in East Fishkill, New York earlier this year and has been trying to lure new customers to the plant. The next version of Xbox is expected to be announced in January by Microsoft founder and Chairman Bill Gates and to be on sale next fall ahead of the holidays. IBM is also working with Sony Corp. on a chip for its next version of the PlayStation gaming console. Earlier this year, Nvidia, which makes graphics chips often used in gaming, also turned to IBM to start making certain of its chips.
