The Apple store has been down all day, and now its not. Amongst the plethora of revisions to the current lineup of products, Apple has introduced the Magic Mouse a multi-touch iPhone-inspired point and click device.

The Magic Mouse is buttonless and features  smooth, consistent touch-sensitive surface. Scroll in any direction with one finger, swipe through web pages and photos with two, and click and double-click anywhere. The new Magic Mouse houses a chip that tells it exactly what you want to do avoiding any confusion you might expect between scrolls and swipes. Additionally the mouse has a supposed four month battery life.

Featuring wireless technology via bluetooth and a laser-tracking sensor, Apple is hoping that the Magic Mouse will aptly replace the Mighty Mouse both at home and in the office. Currently, I shall reserve judgement on this new device. It certainly looks fantastic, like all Apple products, but can its functionality live up to its form-factor? The Mighty Mouse, which it is replacing shipped with a host of functionality issues, here’s hoping that innovation meets expectation.
