apple has released one (one button only) that uses adaptive FHSS. This is a great thing if you use 802.11 networks. The mouse will scan the airwaves and use a hop pattern that uses frequencies that are not in use by your 802.11 implementation. So your wireless network does not experience any "collisions" due to your bluetooth device.

i believe apple is the only manufacturer useing this method, so you may want to wait until some other vendors do the same.

Yeah the apple is cool on being airwave friendly. . . BUUUUUUUT, one button, no scrolling I say BOOOOO. If you can afford it go with the logitech mx900 its the mx-700 but with bluetooth. And the clever logitech loonies made the base station charger also the bluetooth receiver. Definitely my bt mouse pick . . . but it is pricey.
