oh.. this is bad news. yes, this is the best mouse ever (well, in 99% of cases anyways - i also have the mx1000 and mx air). why would they discontinue it coz i cannot see anything else in their product line to replace it.
to the op: where are you located? have you found one yet? -----

I don't know why G7 is being discontinued. The G9 is one ugly mouse compared to the MX518, G5, G7 and even the G3. -----

I prefer the aesthetics of the G9 as opposed to the G5 /shrugs.
Perhaps the G7 line just wasn't selling as much anymore, or perhaps it's not as profitable. -----

Those were honest reasons why it might have been pulled =P
Sure, I think it's crap, but wireless mice cost more to make than wired mice, and most people I know buy wired mice /shrugs
If they discontinued the z5500's it wouldn't be a major loss, they're pretty average speakers. -----

I've used a bunch of mice in the last couple of years; MX1000, MX510, MS Bluetooth thing, old logitech wireless thing... none compare to my G9... it rules them all with it's "icky cord" and all :D -----

Maybe it's just like the rest of business in the world, you develop new products for customers...
They will bring out another wireless mouse to replace this one, and it will be better Im sure!
So Dave all Im saying is don't knock this mouse till you try it, it's not like other wireless mice. -----

oh man, altec lansing make absolutely awesome speakers.
i wonder how these compare to the z5500.. i was originally going to get the altec lansing speakers (older version of these from the look of it) but for my personal taste, they couldnt match the z5500
