Mighty Mouse review
Bob LeVitus has written a short review of Apple's new for the Houston Chronicle in which he praises the device for its scroll ball and "seamless" design. "What I like best about Mighty Mouse is its scroll ball, which is sort of like a traditional scroll wheel, but better.[...] It's fast, precise, easy to get used to and by far the best scrolling mechanism I've tried. It's superb for working with large documents in programs such as Adobe Photoshop and iPhoto." LeVitus says he does, however, agree with some popular criticisms of the mouse. "The fourth button, the one you squeeze, feels awkward to me." Moreover, "I'd prefer that it were wireless instead of connecting via a USB cable."

Mouse is Very Nice
The Mighty Mouse is very nice, but a bit pricey. I like the squeeze buttons, and am looking for a way to utilize a Squeeze-and-Drag option. As soon as a BT comes out, I am getting it for my Powerbook.
One Note: In Firefox, the horizontal scroll works as a back/forward button (odd) BUT in Safari it behaves as a horizontal scroll.
Regarding Photoshop/Illustrator etc...I still use a graphics tablet and am not likely to give THAT up...but mighty mouse was really not meant for that.
I hope to see it in Future Macs!
