Better if they made a modern version of a ballpoint mouse

or if logitech does the same with the trackman portable.

The Microsoft Touch Mouse seems interesting -

Whether or not it is any good, or a bad Magic Mouse clone remains to be seen.

The only way they'll make a great mouse is if they use the Avago ADNS-3090 without any bugs and have insanely good ergonomics like the Mionix Naos 5000. Otherwise, it'll just be a crappy mouse.

I wonder if the touchpad in the middle would be usable as a middle mouse button.

It's a bit like this one, I think*:

this thread is full of ewwww. I for one prefer physical interaction and feedback instead of those touch thingies. Smartphones are a different matter though :P

I can't agree, i use the smartphones since 2002 and they always had a physical keyboard, with the notable exception of BB storm that anyway has a an hybrid touch screen.

Touch screen is welcome but a physical keyboard is mandatory for me.

I'll never buy an iphone or an iphone lookalike

Microsoft should stop making hardware...
Even their new Lifecam Studio was a rubbish, it only recorded 720p when 1080p sensor is printed all over the box.

Logitech is only decent peripheral brand left...
