The Mightiest Mouse

I believe a little bit of Steve Jobs died yesterday. After years of holding out, Apple has released their first two-button mouse. But it’s not just any old mouse, far from it actually. It’s what you would expect from the company at the top of Business Week’s Top 20 Innovative Companies list.
At first glance, the Mighty Mouse looks like a standard, single-button Apple mouse. However upon further inspection, it comes equiped with a pressure sensitive top that can tell which side of the mouse you are clicking. You get all of the classic one-button mouse look with the the two-button efficiency. The Mighty Mouse also boasts other features such as squeezable side buttons for quick application launch and a “revolutionary Scroll Ball that lets you move anywhere inside a document, without lifting a finger”.
Probably the best thing about the Mighty Mouse is its integration into the OS X Tiger interface. The mouse allows you to program your clicking to activate such Tiger goodies as Dashboard and Exposé.
With a simple click, you can access your widgets or clear your desktop applications in a flash. Right now Apple only has a wired version available, but one can only expect that a Bluetooth version will be right around the corner.
