Magic Mouse Review

魔术鼠标

The technology that helped make the iPhone a huge hit is now available on the desktop². Apple has created the Magic Mouse. CNet's Mark Licea said he explains how it works. It is the first mouse to use Apple's multi-touch. See you can scroll³ up and down on your Web page by using a two-finger gesture, you can also zoom⁴ in and out of images by using a pinch gesture. We like the mouse connects to a Bluetooth. It's not the most ergonomic design and doesn't feel very comfortable to hold. But otherwise it's a good mouse. It costs 70 dollars on Apple's website. The Magic Mouse is also included with every new iMac.

Iphone风靡全球的触屏技术现在应用到了电脑上。苹果公司发明了这款魔术鼠标。科技咨询网CNet的Mark Licea将向我们解释魔术鼠标是如何使用的。这是第一款使用苹果公司多点触控功能的鼠标。你可以用两个手指上下翻动网页，也可以用手指张合来放大缩小图片。魔术鼠标通过蓝牙与电脑连接。这不算最符合人体工程学的设计，拿着也不够舒服，但这是个好鼠标。在苹果官方网站卖70美元，购买最新的Mac电脑也可获得。
