If you're one of the very few people who can tolerate using Apple's Mighty Mouse for day-to-day work on a Mac, then you'll likely be keen to hear about a rumoured change to the derided peripheral.
According to Apple Insider, the white mouse is set for a makeover when Cupertino announces its next range of iMac computers; probably within the month.
No more balls
That will, we're told, see the Mighty Mouse become touch-sensitive like the multitouch trackpads on recent MacBooks and do away with the top-mounted ball/scroll wheel.
There are no actual details on how the new mouse will work, but we can expect a range of gestures to trigger features such as scrolling, Exposé and, perhaps, iPhone-like pinching and zooming.

3. I would say it ain't all the great. But then I ain't a Apple fan boy , yes its cool looking but then I prefer Logitech mice as in the g5. But then the customers who are rating it on the apple store dont either. I have one for the macbook pro and never use it.

2. I thought it was a fine mouse too. The only problem is the little scroll ball getting dirty, there's a simple solution for that.
Get a clean sheet of paper, turn the mouse upside down and quickly move the mouse left and right, up and down. This will clean the ball and you'll see lots of small pieces of gunk left on the paper. Problem solved.

You have, like, used a Mac, right? You do know what one is?
