It’s time to give away a MoGo Mouse- who wants it?
The folks at Newton replaced my defective MoGo Mouse but since I already had bought an HP branded one the replacement is sitting in its brand new box. We want to give it away to a lucky jkOnTheRun reader so listen up to what you need to do. Think long and hard about how having a flat wireless mouse will affect your life and tell us in a comment. Be creative and whimsical and eloquent in your comment and try and move us to sling the MoGo in your direction. We’ll keep the contest open for two days after which we’ll close the comment thread and Kevin and I will select the entrant that we feel is the best. Not one of those "randomly selected" winners, no we will blatantly select the one we feel is the coolest entry that moves us. The MoGo is a $60 mouse so it’s worth a little bit of work so pull out your old creative writing textbook(s) and get cracking. Get your MoGo on and may the best writer win. Our decision will be final no matter how much grousing you do or how much you disagree with us. It’s our site after all. Note this contest is not open to employees of jkOnTheRun nor their families.
CONTEST IS CLOSED- WINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY.

You should give me the Mogo mouse because I work for a mobile software company!
I’m a ‘product associate’ for Ilium Software (makers of eWallet, ListPro, Keep Track, NewsBreak, DockWare Pro) and I do both technical support and software testing. As part of that, I use a laptop for much testing, and I get completely sick of using the trackpad. It even stops working some of the time, I think as the laptop heats up… moving your finger across it will make the pointer move only one direction, or it wobbles around. There’s nothing more frustrating than needing to try something while on the phone with a customer and finding that your mouse pointer is wibbling around instead of going where you want.
Dearest James and Kevin
I feel that I should be the recipient of this mouse marvel. The reasons for this are many and varied but in summary I have a problem with my nipples that could be resolved by having this mouse. Basically my nipple causes phantom movements which I cannot control and this mouse would help resolve this problem.
I think I prefer the term trackpoint…
I require this MoGo mouse to feed to a rather large, flat cat that I recently inherited. If you’d be kind enough to send it to me it would make my wife very happy, because it would give her a break from flattening herrings with a rolling pin.
MoGo, OQO.
Need I say more? . . . Yeah, probably.
While the MoGo has one major failing when it comes to being my OQO’s mistress (it’s not glossy black), still it’s slim figure needs to be mated to a buff UMPC. None of these behemoths with their seven inch girth. But, on the other hand, setting her up with a wimpy MID or smart phone would be doing her a disservice. She needs her perfect mate, my OQO.
First Brangelina, now MOQO.
The MoGo would add some “techmojo” when I’m pbOnTheGo.
My girlfriend’s chest is flat. This mouse will remind me of her all day long!
I’m happy without a mouse, but would like the winner to write a brief review after two or three months of use. MOQO has a nice marketing appeal.
My pcmcia slot is empty and door broken and is collecting dust…I need to put something in to keep the dirt away.
wow this would be a great solution in addition for a mouse that small enough for my small hand, all my wrist and finger sore will go away, 2-in-1 for me!
My Logitech Bluetooth mouse causes an unsightly bulge in my pants pocket when I wander around with my P1610. Also, the little Tablet (name of Tattoo) would feel lonely without a little buddy nestled in its PC Card pouch. Wait, you’re giving away the PC Card version, right, not the Express Card ???
My submission, with humble apologies to Mr. Robert Frost, a poetic genius and American treasure. I call it “Stopping by JK on the Run on a Snowy Morning”
Who’s mouse this is i already know,
but now he seeks to let it go.
I’ll toss my hat into the ring
and try to win his new MoGo.
And if I win, I’m gonna freak,
I’ll have a mouse that’s thin and sleek
I’ll be the envy of my pals
and earn the rank of “uber-Geek”.
My wife and kids will shout “Good Lord”,
“You have a mouse without a cord!”,
“if you keep it in the PC card slot”,
“you’ll never lose it, rest assured!”
And if I win, don’t be contrite,
I’ll cherish it, both day and night,
and do my best to plug your site,
