Logitech has made a new and innovative piece of equipment (its NuLooq Navigator) virtually useless by deciding to discontinue the development of ToolDial. Mac users are left with a dead product and Windows users never even got a chance to install it since Logitech abandoned the technology before releasing a Windows version.

The NuLooq Navigator promised to be a fresh way to access content and give your non-dominant hand something to do. The concept behind ToolDial allowed you to call up frequently used menus and command wherever your mouse pointer was. This saved an enormous amount of time by freeing the user from travelling back and forth from task to toolbar. Each of the eight section of the dial could have eight more underlying sections and each of those eight had eight more. The combinations and uses were phenomenal!

Sadly, it remains on the development floor leaving those of us who acquire the NuLooq device with a hockey puck that does no more than an enhanced scroll-wheel mouse.

Logitech needs to wake up on this one and get ToolDial back in development!
