Apple Magic Mouse

Has anyone tried out or have the Apple Magic Mouse?

Since you don't use a mouse on an iPad, I don't have one! But, my Macbook pro is coming tomorrow and I don;t usually like touchpads!

It's $69 but it has multitouch on the mouse......is it worth it?

(Update:) I got it! But, I don't have my Mac Book Pro yet so I can't try it out!

Re: Apple Magic Mouse

No, it's not worth it.  Trust me, on a Macbook, trackpads are great.  Much better.  I didn't like them either until I got a Macbook.  Most of the gestures you do on a Macbook aren't even available on the Magic mouse.

Re: Apple Magic Mouse

The magic mouse is pretty poor in usability. I prefer a normal mouse.

Re: Apple Magic Mouse

Magic mouse? I have one and it's not bad although sometimes you do wish for a normal three button mouse... but with Lion... it is very useful. I'd recommend you get it.

Re: Apple Magic Mouse

No, it's too much money for not enough features.

Also, a question, do you make apps in Objective C or Xcode? I made my first one at school today in xcode 3.2.6. Also, is it legal to run Snow Lepoard/Lion on a virtual machine on a windows computer? Because I have one and want to make apps on it.

It is now legal to run SL but I don't know about Lion  smile

Apparently they changed the licence when Lion came out. You can also use Virtual Box  wink

Do I need to own a copy of either to virtualize it legally?

It's not legal.  It is legal to have a Snow Leopard/Lion VM, but only on Apple hardware.

Re: Apple Magic Mouse

I don't like the magic mouse. I use a magic trackpad with a corded apple keyboard on my 2006-07 iMac. It's great.
