Magic Mouse - Apple Redefines the Tech Landscape Again

The Magic Mouse Redefines Everything We Know About a Computer Mouse

Andy Fling
In 2006 Apple launched iPod, taking the MP3 player market by storm. Today this portable music system claims more than 75% of its market, and is supported by over 3000 accessories. Just one year later Apple released its iPhone, and revolutionized the mobile phone market. One would wonder if they could sustain this degree of momentum in the tech market. Then came the Magic Mouse. Replacing the Mighty Mouse, the Magic Mouse redefines everything we know about a computer mouse.

Right and Left Click
Even though its just one button, the magic mouse enable you to right and left click. Right click for navigation. Left click to download images to your desktop, or to download your favorite free MP3 files.

Navigation
360 Degree Navigation - Working wirelessly with bluetooth Technology, the Magic Mouse scrolls vertically, horizontally, and diagonally - 360 degrees of navigation magic - by simply touching the top surface of the mouse.

Backward/Forward Button - No need to use the back button anymore. An easy two finger swipe across the mouse sends you backward or forward one page.

Momentum Scrolling - Magic mouse features momentum scrolling. It just doesn't scroll. It senses the speed of your movement, and responds by scrolling in response to your gesture.

Screen Zoom - Want to zoom in on something? Hold the control key down and scroll with one finger.

Customization - Maybe your Magic Mouse doesn't work just the way you want it to? You can give it your own personal touch by adjusting your system preferences.

Laser tracking
Toss your mouse pad. Magic Mouse features a laser tracking engine than far exceeds previous optical technologies, which means tracking is more precise than ever before.

What You Need to Make it Work
A Bluetooth-Enabled Apple Computer
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0 or Snow Leopard v10.6.2 (Purchase Snow Leopard v10.6 and receive updates to 10.6.2 after installation.)

Set Up
Magic Mouse set up is easy. Just turn your Magic Mouse on and it pairs itself to your computer.

Magic mouse is another grand slam for Apple. This engineering marvel alone may tip the scales for many PC buyers.
