..the news that Mighty Mouse has been trademarked and Apple is weeks, if not days, away from releasing a new, more rectangular  mouse.

I see Apple going with a "Mighty Mouse touch" name. Goes with everything else.

They'll have 5 new mice:

- Mighty Mouse Starter (only works in Mail, Safari and iTunes)
- Mighty Mouse Home Basic (Works with most apps most of the time)
- Mighty Mouse Home Premium (Multitouch but corded with a trackball)
- Mighty Mouse Professional (Wireless with built in FM radio)
- Mighty Mouse Ultimate (Limited edition autographed by Steve Jobs, also rumored to have a camera)

way to rehash a running gag

Dude, it's Apple not Microsoft.

There will only be one Mouse: It'll be called "Genius Mouse".

By far the funniest thing I have ever read

the Cappy (not verified) | October 08, 2009 - 7:24pm

That's a pretty pathetic admission, on your part. Considering the joke is about the lamest thing I've read. Is there no bookstore near where you live?

Same name.

The totally redesigned Mighty Mouse.
Clicking will never be a drag again.

i think they will just call it "Mighty mouse". no reason to change it. just new features.

does the Macbook get a new name every time it is updated?

Apple Mighty Mouse with Touch Surface

... you know like how the "Apple Keyboard" became the "Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad" when they released the small "Apple Keyboard" that didn't have a 10key

I'm one of the few who actually likes the current Mighty Mouse, although not as much as I like the MBP trackpad. I've always wanted a USB version of the track pad to use with the Mac Pro at work.

I've never had a problem with the MM and the ability to scroll in multiple directions is golden in Photoshop and Final Cut.

But I'm looking forward to what comes next, hopefully it combines the best of both worlds.

As for what they decide to call it, frankly I don't give a damn!

Mighty Mouse was a clever name but (other) people didn't like the mouse, so the name didn't help it. This new mouse will live or die based on how much it sucks or doesn't suck, not on the name.

The All New Apple "MultiTouchMe" Mouse.

Steven McQueen (not verified) | October 07, 2009 - 6:56pm

- Touchpad: Works well with forthcoming iPod tablet, as the mouse is also touch trackpad with the tablet when wanting to use it as such.

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 07, 2009 - 7:00pm

The name is........

Touch+Mouse =Touché
