Have you ever just hung your wireless mouse (mighty mouse here) in your hand, at your side or something, while scrolling on the web? Personally I find it very relaxing, since it permits me to fully recline in my chair, but I constantly need to go back to the pad to move the cursor.
I was thinking if it would be possible to code something to make it possible to use the 360 scroll wheel on the MM to move the cursor about. Down would scroll the page down and sideways would move the cursor sideways. You could then set a key combination to enter this mode, and the side buttons exit it.
If there is a really simple solution I could try to help develop it myself, but with finals (I live in South America) I won't really have time, and probably don't have the experience necessary either.

From the look's of it it is! But I still think it would be great to use that with the MM, which is totally capable of doing that, and most of us already have, meaning no extra $.
