Subtraction (Again)

Wow. The new Magic Mouse is beautiful.

When you look deeper, it’s another example of extreme subtraction…

No cords. No buttons.

By loosing the excess, the mouse gains functionality and capability. All of the sudden, lots of new worlds and possibilities open up. We have the capability for multi-touch and a (mostly) unrestricted canvas for rich interaction because of the items that have been removed from the mouse.

Sound familiar?

This is the same design that opened up a new world of phones by removing the physical keyboard.

Thank you Apple :)
