The Mighty Mouse Has Lost Its Tail

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the evolution-removing-another-tail dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It's all over the place - Apple has just released a Bluetooth version of the Mighty Mouse for $69. It features a new laser based tracking system and gets it power from either one or two (you decide) replaceable AA batteries, but does not work with Windows yet (no words on Linux)."

    I know this is Apple we're talkin about here... but where the hell is the second button still?

  2. One or two batteries??? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    So, what's the deal with "you can use one or two AA batteries"? I mean, why would I use two if I only need one? What does adding the second battery get me? Greater distance? How far from my laptop do you think I can get and still be able to read the screen?

    So, does this mean it doesn't work with windows (meaning "my dell computer") or that it doesn't work with windows (meaning "my imac that has a windows dual-boot scenario using bootcamp") or both?
    I don't know, I only read the blurb.
