Apple's first 2 button mouse announced		 Apple has released a new mouse this week, their first multibutton version. Still looking like the single button mice that currently ship with Macs, this one has concealed left and right buttons, as well as a 360° scroll wheel, and other tricks.
According to reports, the main mouse (i.e. ignoring the side buttons) is still a single click mouse, but a sensor under the left side detects whether you had your finger down on that side and if not, assumes you wanted a right click.
