IMG has posted a review of, the Vertical Mouse 2, a veritable standalone utility. With its "on-its-side" construction and "comfortable handshake grip," it is another interesting alternative to the classic one-button iMac mouse.

A centimeter above where your thumb rests is a fifth button which is an oblong, circular sliver. The entire back of the mouse is made of firm rubber that increases durability and prevents chafing. The buttons and front half of the mouse are a firm purple plastic, and the whole unit is of moderate weight. Since your hand rests on its side, the right edge of your palm is in constant contact with the surface you are mousing on, giving a strange dragging sensation for me that took a couple hours to become accustomed to. Evoluent suggests using a good quality mousepad to reduce friction if it becomes a problem.
