Apple wireless mighty mouse

It's finally wireless. The mighty mouse from Apple has cut the wire. Not a snoozer, but no reason to jump for joy. Wireless should have been an option from the beginning on this mouse.
It's still the same mighty mouse that really only has four buttons, since the left and right side clicks are the same thing. Now, why didn't they make a change so that those two button could have unique functionality? It was a relief to finally see Apple (or was it Jobs) cave on the one-button mouse issue. Jumping to four buttons is a big leap for them, so it's welcome that a multi-button mouse is standard for Apple. I have always recommended that users scrap the mouse that came with their Mac (especially that hockey-puck iMac mouse) and get a multi-button, scroll wheel mouse. With mighty mouse, they have the multi-button and scroll functions - now you can save that trip to the computerwarehousestore.
Mighty mouse now has most of what a mouse needs, multiple buttons, scroll-wheel action, laser tracking, and it's wireless. The are a lot of better mice on the market, but at least Apple is no longer stuck in the one-button world. $69 is a reasonable price for a bluetooth wireless mouse.
Now they just need to add the same one button look, two-button functionality to the trackpad on their laptops.
