I am so excited for Apple's Magic Trackpad! I know some of you are saying, "I hate the trackpad on my laptop," but if you think that, it is because you have never used an Apple trackpad. The Magic Trackpad is basically a larger version of the trackpad that is on the MacBook Pro with some new additions that I am really excited about, like 3 and 4 finger swipes. The Magice Trackpad has about 80% more surface area than the MacBook Pro, and the entire surface acts as a mouse button. It will have two finger scrolling, pinch to zoom, rotating, and other awesome options. The 3 and 4 finger swipes will add nice things like dragging, going to the expose, and switching applications. It will obviously take a little while to get used to if you are not used to using gestures like these, but once you become accustomed to them you just can't go back to not having them. The Magic Trackpad will run on 6 AA rechargeable batteries and with the bluetooth functionality will work up to 33 feet away. The Magic Trackpad is out now and will set you back $69. Attached are two pictures showing what it looks like and some of the functions that you can customize on it.
