Well, I'm still waiting for a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse for my iBook, but it seems that Sony has made a Bluetooth mouse that looks like it would match pretty nicely with a Powerbook. Hopefully this also means that Sony will start putting Bluetooth into more of their computers like Apple has. It would compete I guess if someone is trying to choose between the non Apple but full size alternatives like the MacMice BT, the Logitech MX900 or the Microsoft one. All I can say it's nice to see another BT mouse thats full sized. It seems to be out in the US now but is not in Canada yet till Nov. 22nd. A nice thing about it is it seems to be able to be used via USB.

awesome mouse but it looks a bit wierd...:confused:
 
it looks really cool, but you'll be much better off getting an ergonomic bluetooth mouse like the ones microsoft and logitech sell. $70 for a three button, tiny bluetooth mouse is not a good deal. check ebay for the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth and the Logitech MX900 Bluetooth. I recommend the former, i've most of the buttons work (all but the forward/backward buttons) and all of them should work once USB overdrive is released w/ bluetooth support. super fast response. only bad thing about it is that there's no on/off switch, so i just switch the batteries whenever i travel (so as not to wake up my ibook accidentally, i keep it on sleep mode most of the time). it fits my medium-sized hands very well, has withstood some pretty high drops, looks great, and does not need frequent changes of batteries. i'd recommend it for gaming too.

It better if its $70 + shipping. I think I could buy two one button mouses from Apple used for that price and then I would finally have a Wireless, good looking, two button, Apple mouse (mutant mouse).
 
i dont think it looks that great...and doesnt look compfortable imo... i had a really thin and small mouse before, which was the size of that sony one and it sucked, might look nice to some of you but after a couple weeks of using it your hands will be in pain....and if i pay 70$ for a mouse it better be loaded with options...that sony one looks like a basic mouse with a heavy price tag... i havent seen many cool bluetooth mouses yet so i'll jsut stick to usb for now..

you should check that mouse out..for 35-40 bucks it is worth it...it is very compfortable as well. And can do so much more than the sony, its just not blue tooth.
 
That looks sweet. But I need extra buttons for Exposé! I'm gonna pick up the Logitech model once I've paid off my PowerBook..

Second to Apple, Sony has got some really good designs. If I were buying a PC, it would be a VAIO, no question.
 
stylish but lack the ergonomics...

won't be very practical in real use...

better to get a M$ mouse
they are good, durable and consume less power
