Imagine making the iPhone's flick gesture on a touch-screen multi-touch mouse, and suddenly on Safari, tabs flip across your iMac's screen like photos or cover flow on the iPhone. That could be just one possible use of a new patent Apple is applying for featuring a multi-touch mouse. This patent application is worth a second look. It portends a leap ahead of Vista if they release it with Leopard. Remember the cover flow features being built into Leopard?
Also, at the very least, a mouse like this would also keeps smudges off, say, a touch screen table.
