Apple's newest contribution to the ever growing 'touch screen' phenomena now includes a new technologically savy "magic mouse" for computer users.
The buttonless magic mouse borrows multi-touch features from some of Apple's more popular products such as the iPhone, iPod touch, and the MacBook Pro. The idea of a 'buttonless' mouse is to blend the tradional two-click mouse with the styling gestures of the touch screen.
For only $69, the magic mouse ensures the fun of the sliding and swiping motion of a touch screen censored to your own computer; however, questions still remain as to whether such a product will actually enhance one's computering outlook or if it will just get in the way.
For me, I think I like the idea of the magic mouse more than the product itself. Being the standard size of your traditional mouse, the only cool feature about it is that it's touch screen. And to think even further into it, the magic mouse is almost ideally like the sliding mouse on a lap top. No?

So Mac is trying to make a touchpad on a screen huh? That seems kool if you're a basic user. For a gamer that would have to be the most frustrating thing ever. It's bad enough that some people are on the end of their nerves (like myself) when it comes to fast paced gaming and when something that would suddenly happen would cause me to jump out of my seat, I'd punch my monitor! However, for a strategy game it would be a bit more flexible.
ReplyDeleteI love Mac. I own one so I'm always into whatever new gadgets they come out with. I think the new mouse sounds quite enticing. Many people that aren't Mac users may think their new gadgets are stupid, but once you use a Mac, you will fall in love. I'm excited to test out this new mouse!
ReplyDeleteI want the new magic mouse. I think it is pretty neat. Most things that Mac comes out with is usually worth buying. People who dont know how to use a Mac and our PC users do not understand why us MAC users love everything they come out with so much.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it does sound very similar to the mouse on a laptop. I also agree that the sound of the product sounds cool, but I don't see it being all that practical, at least not for me. It sounds more frustrating than just double-clicking, which really isn't all that strenuous. I wouldn't pay that much for something that I can get for much cheaper and work just as well, if not better.
ReplyDeleteSounds nice, but I don't have mac so I can't join in the fun yet. I don't think I'd want to pay that much just so I'd have an easier time using a mouse though. I've used a mac before and already love it so maybe I'll change my mind...?
