a first step, is the Magic Mouse an acceptable entry into the multitouch mouse world?
Overshadowed somewhat by other product announcements such as the revamped iMac and Mac mini during Apple’s most recent press bonanza, the newly released Magic Mouse might remind consumers of the company’s handling of the AppleTV. Despite being ahead of its time in terms of pushing levels of innovation in the world of desktop interaction, significant usability issues and limitations hold the Magic Mouse back from receiving the exuberant praise many assume products by Apple deserve by default. While its multitouch support does, in some ways, mimic the intuitive convenience of the track pads found in newer unibody Macbooks and Macbook Pros, it is not as clean of a translation as we would have hoped. Thus we strongly encourage potential buyers to spend some time test driving the device at the Apple Store before deciding to ditch their current Mighty Mouse or other device just for the sake of upgrading.
