Fiat 500 optical mouse

Some of you will know that the Fiat ‘Nuova 500′ which launched in 1957 (the car upon which the brand new Fiat 500 is based) was the successor to the 500 ‘Topolino’ (Italian for ‘little mouse’) which first appeared in the mid-1930s. Topolino was also, incidentally, the name given by the Italians to Disney’s Mickey Mouse.

So where am I going with this? Well, you can now also get the newly-voted 2008 Car of the Year in mouse form, but this time as an optical computer mouse.

For the traditionalists among you, there is also a Nuova 500 version but I think the new one is the ‘must-have’ this Christmas so have a quiet word with Santa.
