Ever the tech tease Apple has filed a patent for a future version of the Magic Mouse – this version appears to have a built-in touchscreen display.
Rather boringly know as a "Computer Input Device Including a Display Device" it will be used as a simple information display.
It appears to look very similar to the Magic Mouse, which was launched last year and attempted revolutionise what a mouse could be, then it was then followed by the less popular Magic Trackpad.
These are preliminary patent apllications and there’s no sign of a release soon or ever, but they are definetley looking into it.
For us we don’t think a screen on a mouse is anything special and seems like a gimmick.

What do you mean the less popular magic trackpad? The magic trackpad is outselling the magic moues in the Apple store.
And the magic mouse sucks!
I just wish that Apple would provide some way to play App store games on the iMac maybe using the magic trackpad as the replacement touch screen.
