This has to be the worst move ever, if its true that is.. I'm a web designer, how does Apple expect us to work without one? Using a trackpad for work is probably impossible, we rely on accuracy. This will also be bad for gamers..
Anyway I don't believe this can be true, they just released Lion, and in the demo they were using a Magic Mouse with multi-touch gestures, so I don't see why they would phase it out at this stage..
We can still buy Non-Apple mice, so it won't be the end of the world, but I don't see why they would do this at all, I think most of us prefer a mouse over trackpad..
I just ditched my magic mouse for the track pad when I upgraded to lion, I like the switch

Have to disagree. I'm absolutely in love with the new Apple keyboards.
I've never been fan of Apple mice. The puck mouse, the nipple mouse, and now the not-so-magic mouse. My 27" iMac came with a Magic Mouse and I haven't used it except when my regular (Logitech) mouse runs out of batteries.
Apple, feel free to discontinue your mice--so long as I can continue using mine.
This mouse is so sweet and easy to use. Feels so natural, scrolling is a breeze.
It would really be a shame if they discontinued such a great device.
The Magic Trackpad is nice but it sucks that you can't click anywhere on it, only at the 2 bottom corners. And you have to click much harder than you do on the MacBooks.
Just because you can't do all the gestures on the magic mouse doesn't mean it should be scrapped. Thank goodness this is just a rumor![]()
It's probably that Apple is working on it and will release it at some time in the not-too-distant future. Nothing has been officially announced by Apple, it's all hearsay at this point anyhow.In that case, why isn't the current Trackpad being phased out for the same reason?
What games do you play with the Magic Mouse?I still need Mice. Trackpad can't play games, amongst other things![]()
