Can I use the magic mouse like a trackball?
The magic mouse has a scrolling ball on top. I currently use a logitech marble trackball mouse. Can I use the magic mouse like it was a trackball?

The Magic Mouse does not have a scroll ball on it's glass surface. Instead it uses the gestures of the finger to make the commands. It is essentially the same as using the scroll ball but your finger directs which way you want to scroll. You will be able to scroll left and right as well as up and down. There are heaps more gestures that are available that works with the Mac OS, just check them out at the Magic Mouse product page.

How does the battery life compare to the magic mouse? I like the feature set better and wish Apple would add many of the gestures to the mouse.
