Apple patents button-free mouse

Apple patents button-free mouse:
Apple’s latest patent is for a mouse without buttons. The new model resembles the Mighty Mouse, Apple’s last mouse technology breakthrough that featured touch-sensitive side buttons and Bluetooth technology, but uses touch sensors instead of buttons, the Hanover-based computer magazine c’t reported. The new mouse does not have a scrolling ball or wheel. And Apple has more plans for the future. According to the magazine, the company has also sought a US patent for a device that would let consumers use Apple’s new iPhone to control the company's television set-top box via Bluetooth.
