Com in between catching up on the latest TMZ gossip and a few minutes of doing actual work in Google Docs
As is often the case
These gains come with loss
Too. The Mighty Mouse had a clickable scroll wheel and two squeeze sensors on the side that could

The editors didn't like
Doesn’t work with PCs
Slender design may not work for everyone.
Multi-Touch features work with Macs only. Mouse isn't large enough to fill the natural curve of your hand.
The Magic Mouse can be a bit uncomfortable for some.
Power swipers and those with large hands could find the mouse difficult to handle.
Terribly uncomfortable to hold
Almost impossible side-to-side swiping
Install directions could be clearer
Bloated 100MB drivers
No rechargeable batteries
Packing tape left debris
*
Awkwardly narrow profile
Doesn't work with Windows PCs
Laser sensor not as advanced as Darkfield and BlueTrack competition
Horizontal swipes don't feel as natural as thumb buttons
Can't customize swiping functions
No pinching.
Lack of Exposé and Spaces support will force your hand to the keyboard more often
Learning curve necessary
No pinching and pulling to adjust zoom
Low profile may not be comfortable for bigger hands
Multi-touch gestures mean no moving parts, Wireless BlueTooth, Sensitive and accurate, Feels good to use
Not enough use made of multi-touch, It's twice the price of a normal mouse, Lack of side buttons.
Let's be clear about this from the start - Apple does not have a good track record with mice.For years Apple mice had just one button, and Apple, thinking it knew best, refused to budge from this overly simplistic design even in the face of rising cri...
Gesture support, Good weighting, Comfortable scrolling
Very overpriced, Low profile won't suit everyone, Missing gestures
The Magic Mouse could well grow into something wonderful, with full gesture support and a choice of form factors to suit all tastes. This first release is promising, but unspectacular, and we hope the price falls.

Low profile may not be comfortable for bigger hands; limited to two buttons; limited customisation options. Min specs: Bluetooth-enabled Mac computer, Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0, Existing keyboard and mouse for setup...
Apple wants £55 for the Mac-only Magic, which isn't cheap for what is, essentially, a standard laser-optical wireless mouse. Look beyond the Apple marketing hype and that's all it is. Yes, it has that multi-touch panel, but it doesn't rea...
Apple's old Mighty Mouse suffered from a build up of dust and gunk that frequently stopped proper operation. The Magic Mouse does away with the mouse scroll ball altogether and moves to Apple's preferred touch technologiesThe Multi-Touch support i...
Although it's not perfect, the Magic Mouse successfully combines design and usability. It's great as a two-button wireless mouse, but if you need more than two buttons, the Magic Mouse is not for you. As mentioned earlier, there's no scroll-ball butto...
Abstract: Apple's mice have always been somewhat of a mystery to non-Apple users. The first question most often on the lips of the uninitiated tend to be, "where's the right click button?" The new Magic Mouse, like its predecessor, the Apple Mouse (formerly known a...
