3Dconnexion announced today that it has gone mobile with its SpaceNavigator mouse. The new SpaceNavigator for notebooks is designed for on-the-go 3D professionals and enthusiasts. Compared to the desktop SpaceNavigator the notebook version is more compact and about half the weight.

"As the notebook market continues to grow and more and more people carry their laptops with them, there is a greater need for advanced mobile input devices," said Dieter Neujahr, president of 3Dconnexion. "This new 3D mouse encompasses a sophisticated design to address the need for portability in many environments, without sacrificing the intuitive 3D navigation and improved design experience our customers have come to expect from 3Dconnexion's product line."

The SpaceNavigator for Notebooks retails for $129 and is available now. Recently 3Dconnexion promised SpaceNavigator compatibility with SecondLife so mobile SecondLifers may want one of these as well. The device is compatible with windows 2000, XP, and Vista as well as Mac OS X 10.4.6 and up and Linux.
