can I point and click or do I have to be on a surface

If I'm playing a game and need to click on one box rather than another, can I just use the magic mouse in my hand to do a "point & click" ... or does the mouse need to be on a surface?

What is the best method and position to use the Magic Mouse?

To start, I am currently a PC user, and I hate it. PCs drive me nuts. I will be purchasing an Apple computer in the near future most likely a MacBook pro and will also purchase a large monitor so I can see it easier. So far, I'm very satisfied with Apple as I have an iPhone 4. I am very interested in this mouse and have several questions about this mouse.

Do I have to move my finger on the mouse to move the pointer, or is it like a regular mouse where I move the mouse and the pointer moves?

Since the entire top surface of the mouse is a touch screen if I hold the magic mouse like a regular mouse with my palm touching the back will that cause a problem?

I noticed on the MBP, if I tap with two fingers that is the equivalent of a right click, is that same in the magic mouse?

Thank you for answering my questions and I look forward to not having a PC anymore!!!

Is it made out of the same surface as the Mighty Mouse? The mighty mouse didn't move very fluently .

I owned the mighty mouse, and I was disappointed on how well it moved on my mouse pad surface. My mouse pad is a professional gaming mousepad (which I no longer use for gaming). I was just wondering if it moves any better around the mousepad?

Is there a way to initialize the mouse so the touch surface works on linux?

I'm trying to get the touch part to work on linux but the mouse is only sending mouse position, left and right click, is there any command that I need to send to this device in order for it to start sending some feedback from the touch surface?

Can a track pad and mouse be used at the same time?

Basically, I wonder if I can have a magic mouse, a track pad and a keyboard all being used at the same time....

Magic Mouse

I have purchased it today, but it will ship to me in 2 weeks.
I have one question though, how can i connect it to my brand new Macbook Pro?
I haven't got the magic mouse yet, so i might not know anything yet.
But i want to make sure that i know what to do so i can install it quickly.
Thank you.
