Of course the thing that's really missing is Steve's RDF. If he would have introduced this at a keynote, we'd be saying, "We don't need no stinking Bluetooth! The wire is a killer feature!" Still, why hasn't someone thought of the ball before? Gotta give Apple credit.
Now with Apple's new, patented mouse safety tether/bungie. If you knock your mouse off of your desk, safety tether kicks in and stops it before it hits the floor.
Interesting that Tiger is required to utilize the full functionality of the mouse. I can't imagine Apple couldn't have done what every other mouse vendor has to support multi-button configurablility.
ummm.... hmm... something that is small, like a ball, and controls something in on the computer... where have i seen that before...
hmmmm....
IBM Thinkpad "red eraser-head" mouse
I'm not saying they invented the scroll ball. I mean why hasn't one appeared on a mouse before? Now, it seems like it should have been there all along. That's Apple.

Yes, and you can further customize it by which type of blood you want.
