So, this week, Mac released the brand new Magic Mouse. This product is a streamlined replacement to the Apple Mouse and the Mighty Mouse that come standard with Mac products. It features the same multi-touch, point-and-click, and scrolling abilities that the iPhone and the iTouch sport. The only difference seems to be that there is a laser tracking engine on the bottom of this device that allows it to function as a normal mouse. Also there is no screen of any function on the top of this smooth surfaced development, so there is no way to interact with the mouse alone. In order for the mouse to be of any use, the user has to also be the owner of an iMac, a MacBook, or another Mac computing system.
Don't get me wrong, the mouse will make computing more convenient, especially with the elimination of annoying wires using its wireless bluetooth connection. I just don't believe that Mac has yet gone far enough. If the Magic Mouse has the ability to function as a mouse with the touch abilities of the iPhone and the iTouch, and the iPhone and the iTouch have functional abilities of interaction without the abilities of a wireless mouse, then why isn't there a fusion between the two? I know that this might seem crazy, but it also seems like this is just the natural flow the Mac technology. Feel free to comment as to whether or not you think that this might be a pliable next step or on the viability of this as a future endeavor for the Macintosh company.
