One button, two buttons, three buttons, ten million buttons. Beige, black, white, red with polka dots. Glow-in-the-dark, see through. Right-handed, left-handed, both. Vertical for RSI patients, trackballs for weirdoes like myself, Apple's puck mouse for sado-masochists. The ubiquitous mouse comes in all possible shapes, forms, sizes, and colours, but according to our friend The Analyst, the glorious age of the mouse is coming to and end. Do we believe The Analyst?

Fingertips are pretty clunky for precision work (eg. editing photos, etc). Using your fingers leaves fingerprints all over the screen -- do you really want to have to clean your screen constantly? Also, will there be new repetitive motion disorders -- even worse than those created by a mouse -- for people that use multi-touch constantly? Interesting issues. Time will tell.
