All the Apple notebooks have the option to come with Bluetooth built-in, but its only a default option on the PowerBooks. In the current iBook offerings, you have to ask for Bluetooth as a BTO option.
Got a tip for us?

That looks like a copy of the BTmicro from Macally, I own that mouse and Love it, the little rubber sides are soft, the battery lasts days on a full charge, it has a charging cradle and it is nice and small (something I like)

It works great, very solid, and has some nice features like reversable buttons. Anyone looking for a bluetooth mice should definitely take a look at this one. This is looking like my next mouse.
I got this mouse, it is quite nice, certainly nice for the price! It comes with a USB RF receiver, a USB extension cable and a neat drawstring pouch to put it in. Works great on this mac at work.Hattig said:
For the price I'd get one, even if only for emergencies.
I know you mentioned blue tooth but if you are a little flexible you should check out this beast. I just bought it and it shipped today. It's the Wireless Logitech MX1000. Has everything you mentioned except bluetooth, but apparently with this one you can eliminate almost all jumpiness and lag.
Staples has it for 59.99 with a 20 Rebate=$40USD!!
Here is the Zdnet.com review it got a 9.5/10

Well, the reason i'm stuck on Bluetooth is because I have Bluetooth built into my iBook. I can use a bluetooth mouse without an annoying little dongle sticking out of the side of my computer.
And it isn't even that I want wireless, I just don't want to have to plug something in. Digging around my laptop bag for a dongle and plugging it in takes the same amount of time as shaking the tangles out of my current USB corded mouse and plugging that in. I would rather have a mouse that I just pull out of my bag, switch it on, and go to town.

Right I figured that ... but having it as part of the hardware is an advantage over changing it in the software?gamestriker said:
I guess it would be nice if you shared your computer with a lefty. Its usually something like hold down the wheel and right button together for five seconds and it swaps. Much faster than going into system prefs and changing it.
