Newmaninlondon says: Apple, are you sure about the haptic UX on your new mouse?



Video of the new upgraded Apple Mouse below, which allows finger motion horizontally and vertically like you would on your iPhone, but on your mouse instead (in addition to the regular left-button/right-button clicks). I was suprised that the zoom function doesn't work the same as on the iPhone, and to flip through iTunes tracks or Safari tabs, you need to use two fingers instead of the iPhone one. Although the concept makes sense, why only integrate 50% of the haptic UX? Don't get it, and it's certainly not intuitive across the product portfolio which is strange again... I thought that was Apple's strength!?



NB: I am not an Apple fanboy, but neither am I an auto-detractor. I think they have cool stuff, just have to point out the obvious sometimes...
