I'm one of those geeks that told people to wait for Windows 7 before buying a new machine. I get to take some coworkers computer shopping soon.
Hello.
Clean or not, the Mightier Mouse is almost certain to lose its ball. It's just too much fuss about the dirt.
I like the MM just fine the way it is (clean-finger mousing helps) though it's gonna be interesting to see what they come up with to replace that neat little clicky ball thing.
It's a pretty good bet that it's not going to be a scroll wheel of any type.
Maybe a virtual ball?
The above-mentioned self-cleaning one?
A teenie tiny joystick? You know, like a Trackpoint?
A finger-sized indentation like a bowling ball?
An eye-movement tracking iSight?
A headband brainwave sensor?
Brain implants?
Tomorrow or not, there will be a Mightier Mouse.
But will it be the Mightiest Mouse?
Nah, probably not.
Have Fun,
Keri
No Austin Powers-esque Double or Triple Entendre intended, OK?
Well, maybe a little one.

I'm just hoping for a new Mighty Mouse. Mine's about to die and the new one sounds insane.
Hoping everything else gets a nice healthy bump to **** on Microsoft's parade this week.
let the apple poop rain down
Hello.

haha, when any one says mightier now I hear the Sean Connery from SNL celebrity jeopardy say it.
that doesn't really sound like Apple's style, but that'd be really cool.
They can't do "but there's one more thing" if the "thing" is already out.
I think the hardware updates do not warrant a media event. I think the mouse update (since it's brand new) does. I'd be surprised to see the new mouse tomorrow.
There is a big difference between saying "this would be good for press" and "Apple NEEDS to do x, y, or z"
I'm dubious of any update tomorrow. But if there is an update I can assure we will see one thing: the angry hisses of dissatisfied MacRumors readers. Haha keep it chill guys, we're all here for fun!
See thats the thing that I disagree with. If they are releasing new hardware, why not bring the new peripherals out with them?

Fair enough and you proved my point: Generally, Windows users don't upgrade. They get new hardware which is why they're struggling now. They built an OS in XP that is "good enough".

Agreed.
I apologize for my miscommunication
No problem, I just hate when people say MS/Apple/Whoever HAVE to do something.
Mighty Mouse - track ball = happy apple consumer!! (pun intended! lol)
i've had my 1st MM for about a year and (surprisingly) the ball still rolls (somewhat. It may get stuck or it slips sometimes but the screen still scrolls)
after reading several reviews about the mouse, people's MM have officially stopped working after several months so I guess im one of the lucky ones?
i'd love to see the Radio App for iPod Touch tomorrow ( has late 2009 iPod Touch)

Ummmm......because it's business and MS is the competition? Isn't it obvious why would try and divert attention away from the release of W7? Were you joking? It's late, so I may be missing something here......
Doesn't anyone freekin' care about the Mac mini? It needs a serious upgrade. Honestly the Mac mini has not been a decent contender since inception. It needs at least a 2.53 to 3.06Ghz processor with up to 8GB ram and GPU at least as good as the current top of the line iMac. Also a 1TB hard drive with an option for an SSD would be sweet. I'd like to see these options with the top Mac mini being at $599.
Well, I'm going to bed excitedly waiting to refresh macrumors/apple canada education store when i get out of bed in the morning. Here goes sleeping with crossed fingers! *iMac large spec boost please!*

Well if Mr. Mighty Mouse's ball gets castrated by Apple, then he wouldn't be so mighty any longer
A quad core SFF with monitor isn't much more than a mini by itself.Doesn't anyone freekin' care about the Mac mini? It needs a serious upgrade.
