This comes from RailHeadDesign, whose inside dish is usually pretty reliable:
My sources are still saying that the mouse is intended to come out with OS X Final, to compliment the built-in multi-button awareness. However, the exact timing is still unsure: some hear it will get released on March 24 while other hear it will see the light of day at the sixth-month point release update — along with all the other OS X goodies we’ll see then.
Interesting. If it were released with 1.0 on March 24, it would give SJ the chance to announce a "surprise" without unveiling any heretofore-unknown goodies in OS X itself (since there probably won't be any).

Wouldn't it be cool if EVERYONE who preordered Mac OS X got one for free? Since I preordered my copy, I think it would be  .

I look down at my Pro Mouse, and I have to say that it looks a lot cooler as a one button thing than it would as a two-button.
Unless there would still be no buttons, and you'd just have to press more on the left or more on the right...

Something that works as good as the M$ Intellimouse Optical USB but looks like an Apple Pro Mouse would be great.
Already, the Apple Pro Mouse looks like it has buttons on the left and right side. I can't see why Apple could turn them into buttons and put a good, textured, scroll wheel up on top in the middle that also serves as a 4th button (in addition to plunking the whole mouse down like we do now) which would be good for the coming XFree86/Xwindows programs which use a 3 button mouse from the git-go.
I woudl but the new mouse just on the basis that it's an Apple product with apple styling. I'm sure most of us would gladly give our M$ mice away or use it on our work PeeCee's.
