$70 in the US, £70 in the UK  :sigh:

It follows this pricing structure http://www.reghardware.com/2010/09/02/apple_ipod_uk_pricing/

American prices don't include VAT though, so they will paying more than $70.. But from what I see on other forums, They still end up paying less than us when its converted.

We always get $crewed!

That's certainly an interesting looking mouse, I'm going to have to try one somewhere although I can't see me buying one for use on my main PC.

I've just noticed its wireless and battery powered, perhaps a no no then as I have a perfectly functional Microsoft optical mouse that is linked by USB.

I'll have to wait till its LED burns out.

When I used my desktop pc I used a Microsoft Intellimouse V3.  I've got 3 of them.  A really nice mouse.
