Why are there so little Bluetooth Mouse?

[iwodo]

Is there any technical reason behind it? Bluetooth uses more power? High Latancy? RF is cheaper tom implement?

RF is cheaper, easier to implement and requires no special drivers. It is for the most part, plug & play
For bluetooth, the computer may require special drivers.

Bluetooth has a greater range than most RF mice - i.e., 30 feet as opposed to about 6 feet. This makes a big difference in offices where multiple units can interfere with one another.

Ask around how many people have bluetooth on the pc.
Its just not as popular as a usb port with a wireless mouse.

I have Bluetooth on my Lenovo T60 - but I use a standard wireless USB mouse. Bluetooth came along late in the game and was basically a European thing.

If somebody really cared - this would be a good poll question.
