I seriously doubt it, or they would have mentioned it in their marketing as a feature, like Logitech did with their Performance Mouse MX and their Anywhere Mouse MX.

Laser-Tracking Engine
Magic Mouse uses powerful laser tracking that’s far more sensitive and responsive on more surfaces than traditional optical tracking. That means it tracks with precision on nearly every surface — whether it’s a table at your favourite cafe or the desk in your home office — without the need for a mousepad

Just wanted some clarification. Maybe on frosted glass is will work, the frosting might be enough for the laser not to go straight through and work perhaps

gizmodo has already included in their review that it does will not work on glass surfaces and it does not have the advanced tracking as the new logitech performance series mice just introduced.

It doesn't seem to say anything about testing on glass tables. or am I missing something?

Apple Magic Mouse Review:

As for tracking, it's a pretty standard laser technology that tracks decently on most surfaces, including jeans and chairs. Still, the Magic Mouse doesn't have the crazy tracking ability that Logitech's MX mice just introduced—so it can't track on glass, and it can't track on glossy surfaces like the 13-inch MacBook.

Unfortunately No

Just got a Magic Mouse and I have a glass desk and it won't work without a mousepad or solid surface, Other than that I really like it so far, the scrolling and two finger gesturing is pretty cool. Hope this helps
