From what i read from people using it I don't think that I will like it. Right now I have my two buttons setup that if I click both at the same time (cording the buttons) it gives me an Option, Command Click that I use to hide all except the app I'm working in. Seems with the Apple mouse you can't do that so that is why they added the squeeze click to their mouse. Also you can't rest your fingers on the "mouse buttons" plus the track ball scroll wheel is slowing then using a scroll wheel.

WTF, Apple makes a great OS, kewl looking well made hardware, even really great keyboards but they can't seem to make a decent mouse.

Remember the 'hockey puck" mouse that was introduced with the first iMacs? It was like, here is this great new computer design and you get to use a mouse that is round, small, and you can't tell which way is up without looking at the cord plus it only has one button and no fucking scroll wheel.

Good thing that Kensinton makes the Iridio mouse which I love and only costs $17 at the local computer store.

No place like Slashdot for fair and balanced (eventually).

I'm not sure I'll like it either. But I'd still like to try one for myself.
I've been surprised by Apple before, after a hands-on trial.

Btw, the article didn't show up for me at that address. I found it at...
