Apple has unleashed the Magic Trackpad we’d been hearing whispers about. The Bluetooth trackpad is a enlarged version of the same multitouch tech nestled in the Macbook Pro but will play nice with any Mac with Bluetooth. Read on for all the details…
The Magic Trackpad is 80% larger than the multitouch trackpad built into the Macbook Pro. The whole surface is a button and Apple promises you’ll be able to use it in the same way as your current mouse. It runs on two AA batteries which slot into the bump at the back which keeps the Magic Trackpad at the same height and angle as the current Apple Wireless Keyboard.
Apple’s packed the same set of multitouch gestures into the Magic Trackpad as you currently get through the Macbook Pro trackpad so you can swipe to flick through pages and there’s inertial scrolling.
You’ll need OS X Snow Leopard to make use of the Magic Trackpad and it’ll set you back £59. It’s shipping now but the question is: do you want one? Let us know in the comments now.
