Apple's Multi-Touch Magic Mouse Now Shipping

Several MacRumors readers have reported receiving shipping notices from Apple indicating that their Magic Mouse orders have been shipped. At its introduction, Apple announced that while the new multi-touch Magic Mouse is bundled with Apple's new iMac models, the mouse would not be available for standalone purchase until the end of October. The new shipping notices suggest that Apple will be meeting that goal, although customers are still waiting for the device to appear in retail stores.

Apple yesterday released a pair of software updates that will allow Snow Leopard and Leopard users to access the full range of functions on the Magic Mouse. Full support for the Magic Mouse is also apparently being built into Apple's forthcoming Mac OS X 10.6.2 update, which will eliminate the need for future mouse purchasers to install the separate mouse update once that Snow Leopard update is released.

LMAO! :D

Well a Bluetooth Update 1.0 for Windows came out just at this moment for Boot Camp users. Sadly no good since I am not using Boot Camp (which one day I would love to once I get a iMac with more Hard Drive space or upgrade my Hard Drive and Memory on my iMac late 2006 version).

Getting back to the article this just hints out 10.6.2 might be near for a release, I am just hoping soon, but no rage for me if it doesn't.

I read on the reviews on apple's website that this mouse doesn't have a middle mouse button. Can anyone verify that? Does anyone know if this mouse will be able to support 3-button clicks?

One could say that's their whole ideals across their range of products?

I haven't used the mouse but I am purchasing it on Friday, well either that or a mighty mouse. I doubt the Magic mouse can be THAT bad :apple:
