I have the Belkin buletooth optical mouse. It works with the built-in 
bluetooth in my Aluminum 15" Power Book, and it also comes with a USB 
dongle for computers that don't have built-in bluetooth. The dongle 
works fine, but it seems to need too much power to be plugged into the 
Mac keyboard. I use it with an external powered USB hub.

This mouse works OK with my OSX 10.3. I think one of its buttons is not 
supported. However, I prefer the feel and operation of my Logitech 
MX700 wireless mouse. Maybe someday there will be a Mac bluetooth 
version of it.

Here's a URL for that Belkin mouse:
