Magic Mouse Review

The technology that helped make the iPhone a huge hit is now available on the desktop. Apple has created the Magic Mouse.CNet's Mark Licea said he explains how it works.It is the first mouse to use Apple's multi-touch. See you can scroll up and down on your Web page by using a two-finger gesture, you can also zoom in and out of images by using a pinch gesture. We like the mouse connects to a Bluetooth. It’s not the most ergonomic design and doesn’t feel very comfortable to hold. But otherwise it’s a good mouse. It costs 70 dollars on Apple’s website. The Magic Mouse is also included with every new iMac.
