On the Move
People are making increasing use of wireless connectivity at home and at work. Wireless
products give users the freedom to navigate, move, communicate, listen and be produc-
tive in a variety of situations and without sacrifi cing comfort or functionality.
Advances in Technology Drive Market Opportunity
A combination of technological know-how and unrivaled experience developing user-
friendly personal peripherals uniquely positions Logitech to maintain leadership in wire-
less offerings. Our continued success in addressing the need for wireless peripherals
was demonstrated by double-digit sales growth for both our retail wireless keyboards/
desktops and our mice in FY 08. Our retail wireless mice sales increased by 30% over
the prior year, with a strong showing from products designed both for desktop PC users
and for notebook users.
We estimate that the penetration of wireless mice and keyboards/desktops into the PC
installed base was roughly 25% in FY 08, leaving substantial opportunity for sustained
growth in the years to come.
Wave Cordless Desktop
Catch the wave with the Logitech
Wave Keyboard—the exciting new
shape of comfort. It’s created for
hands just like yours.
MX Air
Browse photos, surf the Web or
listen to music—from your desk,
on the sofa or across the room.
