The Multitouch Mighty Mouse [Apple]
Gizmodo — ... The fact is that the current nipple in Apple's mighty doesn't work very well. At least two of mine, which lose precision and stop functioning if you don't clean them regularly. A complete buttonless mouse, with a trackpad on the front, would be great. [MacBlogz] ...

How About a Multitouch Mighty Mouse from Apple?
Mobilewhack.com — [image] I’ll start right off telling you that the device in the picture isn’t an Apple creation. Well at least not yet it isn’t. It’s a concept proposed by MacBlogz. That’s their vision of the future Mighty Mouse . The mouse is a multitouch mouse and comes without any buttons. You’d control your computer by pressing against the touch-sensitive surface.

Apple Mighty Mouse + Multi-Touch concept probably has it about right
Boing Boing Gadgets — MacBlogz postulates something like this might be the next evolutionary step for the Mighty Mouse in the multi-touch age. The Mighty Mouse is a cursor-swooping rodent I've never liked even half as much as its opera-singing, baritone namesake, but you could certainly see Apple doing something like this to bring multi-touch to their desktop line... it certainly beats the alternative of smearing finger grease all over your glossy, multi-touch display.

Now This Is A “Mighty Mouse”
Technology - Channel Feed — [via MacBlogz] If this thing does come true it will be one of the best mice I’ve seen ever. A Multi-touch Mighty Mouse would be killer. It would truly redeem the name of the Mighty Mouse, which till now is a severely over priced but slightly lacking pointing device. Don’t get me wrong, there are some good things about it but I personally think it’s just not worth the price tag Apple placed on it.

Apple Mighty Mouse Gets Multi-Touch
High Tech Lounge — ... could address that very issue. You’d still be able to “click” by tapping on the trackpad, just like on a MacBook. Given the switch from white plastic to silver aluminum for new MacBooks, it follows logically that the new multi-touch Mighty Mouse would also take on this kind of aesthetic. It’d probably also have a lower, flatter profile to best accommodate the multi-touch trackpad. I think this looks pretty hot. Let’s hope it’s for real.
