I don't know about anyone else, but the click wheel beats the hell out of the 3g ipod's touch-sensitive buttons. I'm sure the 3g was steve's idea, and finally someone else set the ipod right.
Is that also why apple's stock mice don't have right clicks? Nothing angers a PC user like cntrl+click.
Actually, apple itself didn't: 1.)conceptualize the use of a bitmap image for "home-computers"/pcs 2.)invent the clickwheel. 3.)invent "multi-touch" Regardless of the iPhone keynote. However, microsoft doesent have much to say for itself either, and apple products do have that "trendy" feel.
Now engadget, succumb to my uber scrolling prowress from the bluetooth mighty-mouse! (The logitech MX Air is pretty too)
Please at least go to the Apple Store website to check what you are saying. All Macs include right click out of the box. MacBooks + MacBook Pros pull up the contextual menu with the two finger click, while all other Macs have the right click on the Mighty Mouse [that has been included with all new Macs for a long time]
Thank you tcc. Everything they've released has been a way around having an actual right-click, because that would be admitting they were wrong all this time.

3g was my favorite iPod.

You do know that Apple mice have right click now, right?

The two finger click is a bit temperamental. Would it kill them to split the macbooks' freakishly long button in half?

My Wireless Mighty Mouse right-clicks just fine, thank you very much.
