Does the magic mouse support all of the gestures that the magic trackpad supports, including but not limited to Launchpad and Mission Control?

NO

The Magic Mouse can open Mission Control with a double tap on the mouse's surface, but it does not provide a gesture to open Launchpad, a Lion only feature. However Launchpad can be launched with a Magic Trackpad with a four finger pinch.

When you say lion only feature, do you mean Magic trackpad only feature? – Odinulf Jul 20 '11 at 19:14
Launchpad didn't exist before Lion. So my logic is: – Steve Moser Jul 20 '11 at 19:56
I'm sorry, I don't understand your logic, for Mission Control didn't exist before Lion either... – Odinulf Jul 20 '11 at 19:58
Great, apparently comments can only be edited for 5 minutes and enter submits your comment. Basically I was going to say IF a MM allows use of all the multitouch features of Lion then it should have a gesture for Launchpad. However it doesn't therefore a MM doesn't allow use of all the multitouch features of Lion. – Steve Moser Jul 20 '11 at 20:11
Oh, ok. Thanks. – Odinulf Jul 20 '11 at 20:12
