To all who complained about apple not having a two button mouse here.

Also it will be bluetooth so that is really cool.

Yay Apple

Apple to release two buttom bluetooth mouse at WWDC.

In a suprise move where software rules the headlines, Steve Jobs will on Monday unveil during his keynote speech at the World Wide Developers Conference WWDC, Apples first two button bluetooth mouse. Earlier reports by us on a USB rechargeable battery system for the bluetooth mouse, although developed, might not make it to the final shipping model for reasons yet unknown.

The bluetooth mouse with two buttons and a scroll wheel, is reported to have a constant blue glow powered by LED lighting thus using very little battery power. In keeping with Apple's new "white" look, the mouse will have a very distinctive ergonomic design, and if reports are accurate, will be priced to sell for not that much more than the current one button mouse's.

Infomation is still pretty sketchy at the moment, as this is a breaking story. More details will be posted once we can obtain it.

"Infomation is still pretty sketchy at the moment, as this is a breaking story" - More like, information is prettyy sketchy cos we just made this up and havnt fully thought through the detail yet!

Monday? Well, certainly not anytime soon Monday because the WWDC is almost 3 months away. In that long a time, one could come up with one's own Bluetooth mouse

Why would Apple go and release a two button mouse when for years they are pushing a one button mouse.

This leaves us Apple users one less thing to back up why macs are better than pcs.

Sworthy is right, its April Fools Day. Rumors sites are the most likely place for April Fools Jokes like this.

Apple + Two Button mouse = Classic April fools
