Apple Developing Two Button Mouse?

Appleinsider claims that Apple is "feverishly working" on a two-button wireless optical mouse to be released soon.

According to the rumor site, the reason for the departure from the single-mouse stance stems from Apple's recent foray into attracting the low-end PC market with the Mac Mini.

One teaser quote included claims "Jaws will drop". No timeframe for introduction is provided. Two buttoned mice have been long rumored from Apple.

The earliest in our archives date back to 2002. Meanwhile, a October 2000 Wired article speculating the introduction of a two-button Apple mouse for the (then) beta Mac OS X.
