What is the likelihood that 3rd-party hardware manufacturers will make a mouse like the Magic Mouse with multi-touch technology? I’m only asking because I can’t see myself spending $70 for a mouse but I would LOVE a mouse with multi-touch features like this. Apple mice are notoriously bad and I have a feeling that this mouse, while nice looking and all, is actually a pain in the butt to use for long periods at a time (it just doesn’t look comfortable, but what do I know…).
Also, can we all agree that Magic Mouse is a stupid name?
microsoft lab geeks demonstrated several different types of multitouch mice a couple weeks ago, i think that as soon as there is a windows standard that is finally decided on…you can expect to see an instant deluge of models from microsoft and logitech.
