No, this mouse is not like a track pad, as much I wish they would have done this. Although it has touch screen capability it is very limited in what it can actually do.

No you can't do this because the mouse is essentially one big button, but it detects where your fingers are on the mouse to determine if you are right clicking or left clicking. Once you have pressed the button down, the whole button is pressed down and nothing else can be done.

If you have a mighty mouse you'll be able to test this because it works exactly the same. if you have a finger resting on both the left and right areas on the mouse, it will left click, it doesn't matter where you pressed down, the mouse detects that you have both fingers on and left clicks. To right click you have to lift your finger off the left button and then click down. In order to click again you have to lift the button back up again, no second click simultaneously I'm afraid. This is exactly the same function on both the magic and mighty mouse.

Yes you can use two or more magic mice in your home on two or more different machines.

You sync the mouse via bluetooth to the computer. As long as you don't sync it to two computers at the same time that are close to each other you'll be fine. This is the same way it works in the apple stores.

A good comparison would be a room full of people using bluetooth headsets to connect to their cell phones. There are not any problems with cross signals there either.

It can work great with that machine, but only if you have:
- Bluetooth
- Mac OS X 10.5.8 or higher

From first hand experience I can say the Magic Mouse does NOT work on glass. I have a glass top desk and the Magic Mouse. If I lay a sheet of paper on top of the glass MM works fine. If I tape that same piece of paper under the glass, it does not work at all.

As long as you are on OSX 10.5.8 or above, the mouse will work.

You can use two Bluetooth mice at the same time - I currently have a Mighty Mouse and a Targus Bluetooth mouse setup and connected at the same time and both work flawlessly together.
