I am not an Apple fan, but I think it's a pretty creative idea.
actually that is not a new concept! i remember like 10-15years ago there was a similar product for pc. it was not marketed in the same manner, and felt awkward in hand.

I hate it when apple rips of others ideas...
but yeah its nice, the downside to this magic mouse is that you can not profile it to your own body language..
Thats cool!
I think in the end, everyone will use multi-finger touch-screen.
But why dont they reverse scroll direction and feedback not, so that it feels like on an iPod/iPhone?
they already have this in they're mac books

A glass trackpad is closer to an iPhone screen than a mouse!
I can't work without feeling the mechanical click of my mouse. It's a nice technologie to integrate touch into a mouse, but still...
^^ i think it does have a mechanical click, same as in the blackberry storm, it's a touchscreen, but you can click it, WITH the mechanical feeling...
Oh nice stuff! but i love tactile sensation, i hate touch phones and everything that doesn't feel real or isn't related to physical response. I want to FEEL the buttons. Besides, this will go for no less than 120$ i'll pass :P

Hey guys....
I just got a call today from iStyle on Bliss saying that they got their first shipment of Magic Mice... They'll be selling it for $123... That's way too damn expensive for a mouse no matter how SWEET it looks heheh... I'm sticking to my MackBook Pro trackpad :P
I have a big Microsoft mouse that must be 5+ years old. Its plugged into my macbook. Its great, big (yet light), comfortable and reliable. The mousewheel is pretty big and still works perfectly despite all the sticky stuff that it collected over the years.
I think I'm gonna use it unltil it stops working (which will probably never happen, USB will probably be outdated before that ever happens). They dont make such hardware anymore, do they?
I have seen newer genius mices loose their color after one year of usage, and also the tiny scroll ball on apple mices break down after some usage... Besides I have yet to find one that fits my hand so well.
This Microsoft mouse is simple, basic, was rather cheap back then (not the cheapest, but well worth it).


That one, exept mine is yellow-ish beige.

Oh by the way. They were able to hack the driver for the magic mouse to work on Windows.

It was done on a Mac running boot camp. They intercepted the files needed and made Windows drivers.

Gotta love the hacking! :D

As for rolf's post, I agree. I can't understand how people buy mouses that are more than 10-20$ tops. A waste of money unless you have wrist problems.
Yeah this mouse is awesome, and it feels great. They basically moved all the touch pad gestures onto the input device. I didnt use it for a long time so I'm not sure about the ergonomics, but paired with a bluetooth mini keyboard, a stylish look is guaranteed.
