I am really close to getting either a wired mighty mouse or a bluetooth apple standard mouse for my newish pb. It seems logical that they are going to release a bluetooth mighty mouse at some point, because right now a one button mouse with no scrollwheel is useless to me if i have scrolling on the trackpad already.
Anyone else in the same boat?
Also, is the cord long enough on the mighty mouse for use with a pb?
I know there are other wireless mice out there, but i really dont want to have some annoying usb dongle or adapter sticking out the side of the notebook.

I got the wired version because I'm on an old G4 iMac, so I don't even have bluetooth. I know my brother-in-law who just got a spiffy new iMac needs a wireless, I'm definitely recommending the Mighty Mouse.

Not big into wireless mice due to the battery life and the weight of the mouse. Feels like i'm using a rock not a mouse. I would expect that the wireless version of the mighty mouse to be out in th enear future. Have no hard evidence but Apple did just EOL the wired pro mouse yesterday.

I was just about to buy a bluetooth mouse that looked a little like Apple's standard mouse, because I really wanted it to match my iMac, and then the Mighty Mouse came out. I was so bummed that it didn't have bluetooth! So as soon as a bluetooth version comes out, I'll buy it along with an Apple Wireless Keyboard!

I'll buy one (or more) if/when it becomes available. Until then, I'll live with the "tail."

Wireless mice lag too much for my taste (and I'm not even a gamer). Plus cha{n,r}ging the batteries is a pain. So wired mice are fine with me

I'll be snatching up a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse as soon as they are available. I can't believe it didn't launch with a Wireless version, in this day and age - Apple are really behind the eight ball on this one.
It's a shame - I had just ordered my G5 when the Mighty Mouse was announced, but it means that I'm curently using the one button BT Apple mouse instead. I hate cable clutter, so a wired mouse just isn't an option.
Still, the one button does eveything I need - the only issue is that it make WoW a real challenge to play!
I patiently wait...

the Mighty Mouse is not ideal for WoW, because the easiest way to move is by holding down both mouse buttons (Which doesn't work on the Mighty Mouse). You can still walk with the WASD keys, but i always preferred using both mouse buttons most of the time.

I am, but NOT if the only option to charge it's batteries is by placing new ones in! :X
There's no way I'm willing to cycle thru batteries like there's no tomorrow.
