"There are several things Apple is good at, like creating attractive, consumer-friendly devices (i.e. iPod and iPad). But in the accessory game, the company has lagged behind. Think of the traditional iPod headphones and dinky mouse collection. However, the new Apple Magic Mouse may actually live up to its name.  Physically, the mouse is sleek and very Mac-esque. The big revolutionary departure is that it doesn&amp;#039;t have any physical buttons. Don&amp;#039;t fret, you&amp;#039;ll still have the functionality of a traditional mouse as the surface is touch-sensitive. I haven&amp;#039;t had an opportunity to take the product for a ride yet and while in demos it seemed intuitive, my guess is that it will take me and other PC users some getting used to. However, if you&amp;#039;re already an iPod or Mac Book Pro user you&amp;#039;ll most likely find it easy to use right out of the box. One thing I am concerned about is the lack of contour, which means it will cause the same fatigue problems that plague traditional mouse users. Mac claims the shape will allow it to be used by righties or lefties, but I think simply having a larger, elevated top would help ward off strain. On the plus side, unlike many Windows-compatible mouses, it doesn&amp;#039;t require a dongle since it works off of Bluetooth. (A dongle is the little gizmo that has one end go into a USB port and serves as a Bluetooth adapter.) Absentminded individuals like me, who&amp;#039;ve been known to misplace a dongle or two, will find this a major benefit. You can buy the Magic Mouse now for $69 and it will come with every new iMac. Unfortunately, the mouse is only compatible with Apple computers that run Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later. Hey Apple, why no PC love?
