    I've got one of those. It's small, but not too small. Works wirelessly. And the battery lasts a couple months. Autocad kills wireless mice batteries faster than anything I've ever seen. One day session may see several thousand clicks.

    Bluetooth technology, ultimate portability

    With its secure, reliable Bluetooth technology, wireless Mighty Mouse goes wherever you do. Pair it with any Bluetooth-enabled Mac to work untethered and uncluttered at your desk or on the go, and it operates with either one or two AA batteries — no bulky dock required.

    Laser tracking engine

    The wireless Mighty Mouse features a laser tracking engine that's up to 20 times more sensitive to surface details than traditional optical technology. That means it can track with precision on more surfaces than ever — even smooth or polished surfaces — with no mouse pad required.

    Innovative Scroll Ball and button

    Perfectly positioned to roll smoothly under just one finger, Mighty Mouse's Scroll Ball offers full 360-degree scrolling capability — up/down, left/right and diagonally. You can scroll long web pages, pan full-size images, maneuver around large spreadsheets, control a video timeline and more. And you can even click the Scroll Ball to access your favorite Mac OS X features such as Dashboard, Spotlight or Exposé.

    Touch-sensitive top shell

    It looks and feels like a sleek one-button mouse, but Mighty Mouse's smooth top shell hides a powerful secret: touch-sensitive technology under the shell detects which part of the mouse you're clicking, so you can both left-click and right-click. And if you prefer the simplicity of a classic one-button mouse, Mighty Mouse is up to the task. Just use the Mac OS X system preference pane to configure it how you want.

    Force-sensing side buttons

    When you give Mighty Mouse a squeeze, force-sensing side buttons can be configured to activate Mac OS X features such as Dashboard, Exposé or a whole host of other customizable features.

    Customizable

    Through the power of Mac OS X Tiger, Mighty Mouse gives you fingertip access to the special features you love. Simply use the system preference panel to configure Mighty Mouse in the way that makes you most powerful. Control the Scroll Ball's tracking, zoom and click functions, as well as the right, left and side click functions. And you even can set up different mouse profiles for every user account on your Mac.

    yeah, that's the one i saw. didn't get the touch sensitive part so maybe the multibutton functionality is finally here.

    one thing i've always wanted to see was the ability to use multiple mice (and hence, multiple pointers). for the most part, the os wouldn't care which one was used to point at things, but for apps that were aware of both mice, you could use them both in conjunction to do tasks. the main ones that come to mind are graphic -- like left mouse tacks down an image, and the right can rotate/scale it around that point. or the left mouse positions a mask for your paintbrush in photoshop.
