R.I.P mouse?

Mouse

Cult of Mac reports

We’ve gotten word from a previously reliable source that Apple is discontinuing the Magic Mouse in favor of the Magic Trackpad. Our retail source has informed us that Magic Mouse inventory is not being replenished for Apple stores, and that Apple is finally phasing out the Magic Mouse.

Its been a while since I have used my Magic Mouse, with Lion you end up needing the Magic Trackpad for all the new gestures. Too bad, Apple were the ones to make the mouse popular.

However, the mouse remained relatively obscure until the appearance of the Apple Macintosh, which included an updated version of the original Lisa Mouse. 

Time for everyone to get Magic Trackpads if you haven’t already!

UPDATE: Cult of Mac:

Our source in Apple inventory has followed up with us, and it appears that Apple has instead discontinued the Magic Mouse’s old part number in favor for a new one. This move may indicate an update to the Magic Mouse, with the most logical prediction being better integration with advanced gestures in OS X Lion.

Oh well!
