Apple introudces its first multi-button mouse…”Mighty Mouse” that is. Odd rodent superhero references aside, this is a major departure from Apple’s defiance to multi-button mice. The company has long argued that a single-button mouse is easier for consumers to understand and manipulate.

Mighty Mouse retails for $49 and is currently available from Apple’s online store.

“At its Worldwide Developer Conference today, Apple® announced plans to deliver models of its Macintosh® computers using Intel® microprocessors by this time next year, and to transition all of its Macs to using Intel microprocessors by the end of 2007. Apple previewed a version of its critically acclaimed operating system, Mac OS® X Tiger, running on an Intel-based Mac® to the over 3,800 developers attending CEO Steve Jobs’ keynote address. Apple also announced the availability of a Developer Transition Kit, consisting of an Intel-based Mac development system along with preview versions of Apple’s software, which will allow developers to prepare versions of their applications which will run on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs.”

More Mac Tablet Rumors

“I have no less than 5 sources saying an Apple Tablet announcement is due soon. Or something, as some of these press people (Apple diehards at that), who normally cared not about Tablets, and thought it was all just Microsoft vaporware, are suddenly so interested in the Tablet PC concept, and asking tons of questions. Pretty easy to read those tea leaves, so somethings up.”

Apple and rumors go hand in hand, but this one actually has legs to stand on since the company recently patended a concept device descibed as a tablet computing device. So it’s clear Apple really does have something up its sleeve, though we have no way of know what that is.
