considering bluetooth might mouse but...

[farqueue]

hello people, do u think the BTMM is a little too expensive just as a MOUSE?
and... how long do those AA batteres last for??/

any ideas??

I think you're the first person to complain about it being too expensive.

I for one believe it's too cheap, AUD$109 puts it within the range of the great unwashed hoardes of poor people who should be buying PCs. Macs are for the rich, the high-born, the privileged few who are lucky enough to possess the money to buy the best.

It should cost somewhere around AUD$200 to make it seem out of reach for the poor - give the something to aspire to, Apple need to stop lowering prices just to please the common folk.
Oh man, this will be fun...

I totally agree. Plus they should make a limited quantity (1000 perhaps) to make sure only the most elite can own one. Then 5 should include a golden ticket that gets you a tour of the Apple factory and meet Steve Jobs himself!
Darn, you fixed the color tag. It was a dead giveaway for a second.

Check this out.

I haven’t read much good about the standard mighty mouse (And the Bluetooth version is not Windows compatible, so it’s not much use to me in my bi-OS world) so I wouldn’t bother with it.

I'm buying the RadTech.

I've had the Radtech mice and batteries usually last about 5 days before they need replacing.

What makes you think the BT Might Mouse is not Windows compatible? It's just a BT device.

Ooh, I want a golden ticket to see Willy Wonka, errr....
....I mean Steve Jobs.

But it's optical, not laser.

The RadTech's are now rechargeable via USB meaning no replacment needed.

And to answer the Windows question, I read it on Slashdot, CNET or something - Couldbe fictishious, I guess. I'm unable to find the link now.

But it's optical, not laser.

Well that doesn’t particularly matter to me, I've never used a "laser" mouse - My optical mice all work excellently for my needs.
