I really like Apple products these days - I went to a Mac laptop in March of 2008 and haven't looked back. I've got an iPhone, AppleTV, a new MacBook Pro 13", 3-4 iPods and an Airport Extreme. I'm replacing the Airport extreme (I suspect mine is flaky - it drops connections a lot these days) but other than that, I'm really satisfied.
That is, until the new Magic Mouse. The touch surface is extraordinary, but the mouse is really missing the side buttons that graced the last Apple Mouse - the former Mighty Mouse. Its insane that Apple's mouse got worse in this generation - its an ergonomic nightmare as bad as the puck mouse from the old G3 iMacs. I really want to squeeze the sides, but I find it to be really uncomfortable.
Wow, i really wanted to like this mouseas I thought it would combine the functionality of a mouse for games, with the cool gestures of the trackpad. You also can't easily customize the gestures, but I figure Apple will fix that in the future w/ a software update. The ergonomics aren't so easy to fix. Sigh.
Shame, Apple, shame.
