Apple's Multitouch Mouse

I've always liked Apple's Mighty Mouse, but it always had some problems with a scroll ball. What was happening is that the ball sensor would get dirty after a few months of use, and it would need a regular cleaning from that point on. This is something that I didn't like about it.

Recently Apple released new mouse - bluetooth and multitouch Magic Mouse. Last weekend I had a chance to play with this mouse at the local Best Buy store. The mouse really looks great, and it it really responsive, but one would need a little bit time to get used to its shape. It's a little bit to thin, and nothing like any mouse I've ever used. Mulitouch swipe commands were great, and you just move your finger up and down n the mouse to scroll. I liked that a lot – no more scroll ball to clean any more.

Folks at the Apple Insider have a nice review about Apple Magic Mouse, and you there are some pictures as well.
