Apple has introduced the Mighty Mouse, the company's 'next-generation' mouse. Apparently, this slick mouse has a number of innovative new features that promise to make using a Mac even easier. And yes, it works on a PC too...

The Mighty Mouse bears Apple's trademark minimalist look, offers four independently programmable buttons and introduces a Scroll Ball that lets you scroll in any direction - vertically, horizontally and even diagonally. It also sports a single 'seamless' enclosure with programmable touch sensors that act as primary or secondary buttons.

For instance, with a click on the upper right or left side of the mouse you can access features such as contextual menus found in Mac OS X and other applications. Mighty Mouse's two other buttons are activated by pressing its Scroll Ball and squeezing its sides, and can be programmed to give one-click access to Mac OS X version 10.4.2 'Tiger' features such as Spotlight, Dashboard and Exposé, or to launch any application such as Safari or iChat.

'With Mighty Mouse, we've simply built a better mouse,' said David Moody, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Mac Product Marketing. 'With its innovative Scroll Ball and unique integration of multiple buttons, Mighty Mouse adds functionality while retaining the elegant, easy-to-use Apple design.'

Welcome to the 21st Century Apple! We've all been waiting.
