Apple is very good at innovation. It gave us stylish iMacs, MacBooks, iPods, iPhones etc. And the latest innovative product straight out of Apple's R&D lab is the Magic Mouse -- the world's first multi-touch mouse. If you remember correctly then it was Apple only which gave the world first dose of multi-touch technology through iPhone, so the news regarding a multi-touch mouse from Apple ain't shocking at all. In fact it was just a matter of time before it came out with something like this.

Wondering how does it work?
Instead of mechanical buttons, scroll wheels or scroll balls, the entire top of the Magic Mouse is a seamless Multi-Touch surface. It features a seamless touch-sensitive enclosure that allows it to be a single or multi-button mouse with advanced gesture support. Using intuitive gestures, users can easily scroll through long documents, pan across large images or swipe to move forward or backward through a collection of web pages or photos.

Magic Mouse works for left or right handed users and multi-button or gesture commands can be easily configured from within System Preferences.

The Magic Mouse laser tracking engine provides a smooth, consistent experience across more surfaces than a traditional optical tracking system. Magic Mouse uses Bluetooth wireless capabilities to create a clean, cable-free desk top and its secure wireless connection works from up to 10 meters away.

The Apple Magic Mouse will be available by month end for $69.

One more thing, the Magic Mouse requires Mac OS X Leopard version 10.5.8 or later so Windows users cannot use it.
