-If it is any good, there will be...and then Logitech will make something like it, only better.

Wasn't the biggest selling point of the iMac the price? Do they actualy hope to gain market share by charging $1200 for a base model?

I want that mouse >,> more than I want a new computer. But until something like it, or support for windows is added, I guess it's time to wait. But the tech in that mouse is certainly amazing. Apple has such great concepts, now if their prices were only reasonable.

No, the selling point was a convenient, all-in-one system, which a lot of people still like the idea of.

only way to get that on windows is a 3rd party driver. watch apple go after the makers of that one in court...

there will never be a competitor version by any company seeing that any mp3 player with similar touch pad technology gets sued.

i must say though. i got one of the new slim aluminum mac keyboards for my birthday and i have fallen in love. but then again i love the feel of a laptop style key just not interested in the small form factor, hence the mac aluminum keyboard makes my wishes come true.

huge downside is the lack of a few special keys not only in windows or linux but in dos versions and win/bart pe. especially them damn kvm's that use these special keys that do not allow reconfiguring the hot key.
