Is that a trackpad of sorts on the mouse?

Mockup looks worse every time I see it, you have to look at it like the scrollpad is slightly sunk into the mouse for it to work visually.

Bad idea. Tactile "feel" is important. I just want a bluetooth version.

Tactile feedback can easily be reproduced by
A) adding a clicker sound to the piezo speaker the mouse already has anyway (cf. iPod)
roughening the trackpad surface (cf. MacBook Pro, MacBook)
C) both.

I like the white feel, interesting. However I feel this position and size are better though. Smaller size would allow for clicking right and left buttons etc.

Then you don't get as much side-side though.

Not a big deal I don't think. A small trade off for constant reliability, besides if it was too big it would keep getting in the way.

WTF, I just came across this - post date 2004!!:

Maybe they tried a touchpad already before making Mighty Mouse.
I think we need to hear more from admactanium as to why that kensington mouse wasn't any good.
