    I actually like the designs of the mice, I'm sure they'll strike a chord with some consumers, I use a Wacom though so probably have no use for one.

    wonder how long it will take apple to sue them for the mouse design!

    Nah, I imagine there would be way too many licensed patents from other companies for Apple to be able to sue.

    The 2nd one looks like it has some nice crevices to capture all that dirt and crud

    Does anyone actually prefer using a touchpad to a traditional mouse?

    That touchpad design looks similar to Apple's patented "rectangle" design.

    I see another lawsuit haha!

    I tried making same gestures as those on the T620 video with my mouse, and I just can't see it comfortable for larger hands like mine. The mouse was all over the place (it's not even taken from the lightweight bucket) while I tried 'side scrolling' moves, and the way I hold the mouse it didn't feel comfortable making other gestures either. The T400 would feel more natural to me I guess, since I could hold the mouse firmly in place with a thumb and the little finger, but the touch area could be larger and also without any dirt gathering crevices, like 'sam3' pointed out. The T650 might be a better option, but I can't see myself working without a mouse, and wouldn't want both devices at the same time next to the keyboard, wasting precious desktop space. I feel like I'm nagging too much about Win 8 interface and possible ways of using Modern GUI to any real advantage lately... It must be the little kid in me wanting to try new toys, but the grown-up part of me always finds something to complain about, as if the weather doesn't do LOL

    It will all come defunct come the beginning of the year hopefully. I think for the same price I will wait out till the LEAP motion stuff, a lot more uses and with a load of apps. Win 8 ready, and only $70. Looks like it might change the face of input devices.
