The Kensington PocketMouse Pro is pretty nice (I have one), but it  
isn't a bluetooth mouse and requires a USB dongle, which I presume Dan  
would prefer to avoid. Also it is not the best optical mouse - I find  
you have to have the right surface to use it on or it can be  
sticky/stuttery. Still, I like it a lot, but once I get a new PowerBook  
with built-in bluetooth I'm going to want to ditch the dongle and go  
bluetooth. :)

Belkin is coming out with a bluetooth multi-button mouse  
<http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process? 
Merchant_Id=1&Product_Id=157641>, but it has one of those  
right-hand-only designs, which I don't like. I like to be able to  
switch sides to keep from killing my wrists. Belkin is also the  
purveyor of the randomly spam-serving router, which is further reason  
to avoid their products. Any other options out there?
