Looprumors.com has this interesting diagram. I think this would be a great idea, but is it technically feasible?

Frankly that sounds like the dumbest idea I've heard in quite a while. I mean, the iPod and phone might theoretically be combined, but mouse? That doesn't make any sense at all from a usability standpoint.

This sounds so far fetched. Come on now. How much would a iPod/iPhone/bluetooth mouse cost? A grand? geez.

lol, I see it's still a one button mouse, I mean what the hell is the point of keeping it simple at that point. Of course it wouldn't even sell unless in also included a toilet paper dispenser.

If Apple ever released something like that, I would cry.
That device is completely ridiculous. Apple's whole philisophy is to make a bunch of things that each solve 1 specific problem, and solve it well. (See Address Book, iPod, iCal, etc).

Looprumors is easily the worst Mac rumor site there is. They post more sh!t than all of the other rumor sites put together.
Ignore it.. delete the bookmark.. Send them hate mail.. Whatever.. Just dont discredit your own intelligence by believing any of it.
The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.
