Apple's new mouse works on Macs and Windows PCs
Apple Computer Inc. is calling its latest product the Mighty Mouse, but analysts say it's actually a Trojan horse that could further the firm's forays into the world of Windows PCs.The Cupertino company started selling the new, four-button mouse, with a small 360-degree scroll trackball. The mouse is compatible with both Macintosh and Windows computers.
The new mouse looks similar to the white, rounded one-button variety that's standard with most Macintosh computers.
The only difference in the look is a small trackball on top that can be used for things like scrolling through Web pages.
The product is Apple's first mouse with more than one button. It will likely take away the frustration of users who want to right-click for extra functions.
Although Apple's latest mouse, which costs $50, probably won't become one of its cash cows, the business will probably have hefty profit margins, said Shaw Wu, an analyst at American Technology Research
